A few years back my husband and I did something similar except that we rented a small cottage in a village just outside of St. Remy for two weeks and an apartment in Antibes for one week. We loved being in one home and taking day trips. The cottage in Provence enabled us to spend a day in any given direction and on the way home stop at a local market for the makings of our supper. Antibes also allowed us to travel up and down the coast on day trips and still come home at night. Both St. Remy and Antibes are wonderful towns. Just a thought. Jane, Boca Raton
