We'll be driving from Paris to Provence at the end of June. We'd like to break up the trip with an overnight stay along the route (or not too far out of the way...). What would you recommend? We are considering Cluny or Lyon, but are open to ideas. (We are using Arles as our Provencal destination for planning purposes, but may change that, depending on what looks good for accommodation.)
As it's such a short stay, we won't have a ton of time to explore, so mostly looking for somewhere with some atmosphere, and where we can get a decent meal. We are a family of four, with two teens--we don't need nightlife or shopping, more interested in pretty streets and historic buildings we can explore.
