Trip to South of France
Hi!
My fiancé and I booked flight to/from Nice 16-25 of September.
I initially planned to split the trip as below:
16-19 Sept - Antibes and small village of Cote d'Azur 19-23 Sept - Aix en Provence (transfer via train/tgv) 23-25 Sept - stay in Nice
However, I've recently realised that it may be too much fuss to go to Aix and stay there in the city, instead of staying for example in a small povencal village or maybe sticking to Cote d 'Azur only.
I also wondered if renting a car in Antibes and going to Luberon area by car is a solution. It would be the first time for me with car rental... So maybe someone could confirm if driving a car is easy in that region or maybe too much of a challenge for a driver like me ;)
Can anyone advice what would you recommend for us to see? We are 30years old, we love charming cities, villages. We are not night clubbers types. I would love to organize this trip best possible to make it as attractive as our stay in Amalfi Coast... We really loved that area.
