After endless research, we have decided to spend the last 10 days of our 3.5 months away in 2 familiar spots. The Luberon (about 3 days) and Nice (6-7). We have Dec 10-Dec 20th. We have been to both these wonderful spots before. Originally we thought we'd like to go somewhere new but we loved our 5 weeks in Nice, March 2013 and of course, adore the area around Bonnieux. We've never been in December. As our time is limited, we won't be doing an apartment rental. Hopefully there are b&bs open at that time of year. I think there is a lovely one in Bonnieux.
We'd also like to see http://carrieres-lumieres.com/ in Les Baux. It seems pretty far from both Bonnieux and Nice. I don't want to devote 1 of our 3 days in Bonnieux to driving. Wondering if it is better to go from Nice as we will have longer there? I don't think it is en route. Suggestions?
Also wondering if better to fly into Nice and drive to Bonnieux then return rental at Nice airport. I realise Marseilles is closer but we would still have to get to Nice. I don't think there is a train between Marseilles and
Nice. Haven't checked recently but I think I have in the past and there isn't one.
Kathy, if you read this, will you be in Bonnieux Dec 10-13 or are you in Morrocco or.....
