One week in Provence.. staying in Avignon

My wife and I are looking into staying a week in Le Thor near Avignon during the later part of September. We are considering staying in a home through Untours.
Any opinions as to staying in Le Thor (or Avignon) as a base will be appreciated. Also, has anyone had experience with Untours?

Many Thanks.

I often recommend this official tourism office, both on-line and in their central office. Very helpful, not just in the city but for the surrounding area. As to your specific questions, I will have to leave the research to you.

Last month we stayed at lescarmes.com in Le Thor and found a gem of a B&B ! Paschal and his 300 year old villa were outstanding.

We used this as a base for exploring the hill towns like Rousillon, Menerbes, and Bonnieux and driving the Cotes du Rhone up to Vaison.

We felt it was a perfect location for the region and there was a grocery store and gas station a mile away in Isle sur la Sorgue.
