It looks very good to me, Gretchen. My only contrary thought might be the split between Nice and St. Remy. Assuming am arrival in Nice and bus into town, you will have most of the afternoon to walk around Nice. I would probably allow one day east of Nice and one day west. One day drive to Cassis with quick stops in Cannes and St. Tropez. Drive to St. Remy on Wed with afternoon in St. Remy and Thurs, Fri, and Sat am to tour from Nimes to Vaison la Romain to Rousillon to Arles. Late afternoon train to Mareille.

Hi David,
Thanks for the suggestions. I like your idea of one less day in Antibes and an extra day in Provence. I believe the film festival will be going on so planning on skipping Cannes. So many places to see..I wish I had a month!
