[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make it 9-10 days if you want to leave Paris and really enjoy yourselves.

I would start in Paris 2-3 days, take the TGV train to Avignon, rent the car in Avignon and then 2-3 nights in one of the Luberon villages like Roussillon, Gordes or Menerbes. Or just outside of one of the villages if you prefer to spread out on some land. Then village hop by car for a few days. Next head to Aix on Provence for two nights. One day exploring Aix. One day doing winery tour. Return rental car to Avignon. One last night in Paris before flying out the next day. You could do hotels, but honestly I love Airbnbs in Provence because you can shop the markets for amazing fresh food to eat at home. Make sure to take a look at the market schedule for the various villages as that's a fun way to plan an itinerary. Most have a market day 1-2 times a week. Lourmarin is one of my favorite villages. L'Isle sur la Sorgue has a big and famous market on Sundays and a lot of interesting antique stores. Roussillon has the ochre cliffs to explore.

Depending on the time of year, I would also consider:
Paris/Lyon/Annecy
Paris/Strasbourg/Alsace Wine Route
Paris/Normandy road trip

Great advice here- we spent 4 nights in the Luberon and loved it. In November though a lot of places will be closed- April-October is the full season, mostly. Also, might be able to fly in/out of Marseille and avoid the added land transit from Paris. There are some great bnbs in the area also that are simple but very nice and around $100/night, in between Avignon and L'Isle Sur La Sorgue.[/quote]
