Paris to Barcelona Ideas for France

Using this Forum we have booked a flight to Paris (we only want to be there one night) and then have 9 days to travel from Paris down to Barcelona. We have decided to take a route towards the Riviera so we can go to Monte Carlo and Nice.

From your experiences:
What are your ideas on how to travel around France?
What are your ideas on where to stay and what to see in respect to that side of France in their wine country?

Timeframes, etc.
We want to have a romantic commitment ceremony in the wine country - would you recommend a special place to do this - the most romantic, beautiful, special place you know?

Thank you so much, we look forward to your thoughts...

A few options for stops along the way (choose 2 or 3) ...
a) Burgundy - Dijon / Beaune
b) Lyon
c) Provence - Avignon / Nimes
d) Nice / Cannes / Monaco
e) Girona / Figueres in Spain

I would do something like this from Paris ....
Day 1 To Beaune, Burgundy (1 night)
Day 2 To Lyon (1 night)
Day 3 To Nice (3 nights)
Day 4 Excursion to Monaco
Day 5 Excursion to Cannes
Day 6 To Arles (3 nights)
Day 7 Excursion to Avignon + Orange
Day 8 Excursion to Nimes + Pont du Gard
Day 9 To Barcelona

David,

That is exactly what we are looking for... perfect recommendations.

Would you train the whole time or drive at all?
