hi there -
we are going to be in europe in may with our two young boys - ages 5 and 3.
we will spend 4 days in amsterdam, then 6 days in the south of france, then 4 days in barcelona.

i would love some recommendations on where to stay in the south of france - we are initially thinking in the avignon area, but i'm open to suggestions!
we have spent time in beaune and also the chateauneuf-du-pape region, so we'd love to explore a new area.

since we'll be in cities on the front and back end, we'd love to be in the country, but close enough to a town that we can easily get food, go wine tasting, etc..
thanks in advance for any help!

Avignon is a lovely area with kids, but then so is most of the south of France. We've spent a TON of time there in our 7 1/2 years of non-stop world travel and will be back for more.

We have a lot on our blog about different areas in the south of France you might want to check out and start with this one with lots of links:

Also this area is lovely as well:

Pont du Gard can be fab with kids too and they have an excellent museum there for kids!
