Good experiences wanted: Cote D'Azur & Provence with 2 kids...

As my handle suggests, we are planning 2 weeks in the south for this July with 2 kids (5 and 7), via rental car. We are landing in Nice and leaving via Paris.





I am new to this forum, so excuse these basic questions and unfamiliarity with previous posts. Thank you in advance for your patience if this is the hundredth time someone has asked this!





We are looking for an authentic Provencal experience, (not overly plush, but a/c would be nice), and not to be in chain hotels. Suggestions for nice villages in the south (for one week near the coast and another week inland) are greatly appreciated. (From Nice to Avignon). Small hotels within the village/town are preferred. Kitchens, villa living, etc not desired. Small hotels next to the boulangerie are what we%26#39;d rather experience.





This is a broad request, but your recommendations and experiences are greatly appreciated.

I would look on www.guidesdecharme.com to find some very pretty smaller hotels.

Biot for the glass-blowing, Carcassone, Avignon and Aix are all fun. You can%26#39;t go wrong. I would check out Alastair Sawday%26#39;s books %26quot;Special Places to Stay%26quot;. I would also check Karen Brown%26#39;s France guide. She has very good route and hotel recommendations. Have fun!
