We're planning a two week visit in March to Nice and Provence. Our developing plan is to fly into Nice, spend a three nights, rent a car and travel through Provence. Return car in Marseilles, where we'll spend three nights then take the train to Paris (these are extended nights to the two week Provence trip). We're asking to minimize hotel changes which towns would make good bases for visiting the region, for hotel recommendations, itinerary suggestions, things to do and general advice. Thank you
The advice so far has been excellent. We're considering these cities to visit Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Arles, St. Remy, Vaison la Romaine as possible bases. We've adjusted our itinerary 3 nights in Nice, 3 nights in Marseille and 12 nights in the Provence region. How to use those 12 nights to travel efficiently and minimize hotel stays. We'll have a car. Thank you.
update: We appreciate the advice and recommendations. We have adjusted and expanded our itinerary. We'll fly into Nice (3-4 nights), then rent a car; Aix-en-Provence (3 nights), Vaison-la-Romaine (3 nights), Avignon (3-4 nights), Arles (3 nights), Marseille (2 nights), take the train north to Paris maybe a stop in Lyon. Thank you.
