Pros
- There's also Arles with an amazing cathedral, Roman ruins and some Van Gogh sites.
- Of course Provence is gorgeous and easy to get to from Paris. A train to Avignon or Aix en Provence and then a rental car to get around to towns like Gordes, Lourmarin, Arles, Nimes, etc.
- Arles is nice …
- If you want a bigger place with more history and things to do, Montpellier and Arles have beaches too, if you don't mind a little bit of travel by public transport.
- What about Arles and Aix en Provence, Iles des Sorge?

Also Avignon and Arles are good choices because they are near Marseille.
Arles is a great base with lots of restaurants, a Roman arena and many connections to Van Gogh.
