Stroller friendly places

Bonjour we are traveling with my 5 and 6 year old for a couple of weeks. Can you let me know which of these is NOT stroller friendly and we should just get them out to walk it. Or even if a good jogging stroller (not cheapy) will work, on cobblestone bc it’s always easier to have one if someone starts lagging. Can’t seem to find much on this topic.

Gordes
Rousillion
Avignon
Arles
Menerbes
Les Baux
St Remy
Aix en Provence
Cassis
Eze (will get there by the bus - assuming it’s small enough for them to walk)
Villafranche
Menton
St Paul De Vence

Here is my take:

  • Gordes: quite steep, but not big. Driver could drop off one parent with the kids in the village, then turn around to park 1/4 mile down the road
  • Rousillon: OK, very small, not very steep, not cobbled IIRC
  • Avignon: no problem
  • Arles: no problem
  • Menerbes: never been, not sure
  • Les Baux: not really, and it is steep from the parking lots to the village...
  • St Remy: yes
  • Aix en Provence: yes
  • Cassis: more or less but the real appeal is the surrounding scenery, rather than the village, in my opinion
  • Eze (will get there by the bus - assuming it’s small enough for them to walk): very small indeed
  • Villefranche: not sure, it's been too long
  • Menton: not really in the very steep old town, OK elsewhere
  • St Paul De Vence: not sure, it's been too long
