| Subject: New member in Paris with question about the south of France |
|
Hi Pam: You will love the south of France. I have only visited Provence
including Cote d'Azur and Riviera twice. It is my favorite part of Europe
so far. My advice would be to stay in two places, Villefranche and
Aix-en-Provence. From Villefranche visit the perched villages high above
the Mediterranean and a town or two along the coast. Then, only about 100
miles away, base in Aix to see the villages in Provence and experience the
wonderful feeling of Aix. I recommend Hotel Welcome in Villefranche and
the Mercure Paul Cezanne in Aix. When I did this particular trip I landed
in Nice and flew home from Marseilles. Whatever you choose to do in
Provence, and wherever you stay, I believe you will have a wonderful
experience.
