France
The third weekend in September is the Journees du Patrimoine when France flings its cultural doors open wide and squashes many entrance fees! If you're in Vaison la Romaine head for the Roman ruins or the mediavel citadel for guided tours.
Loacted right in the historic center of Avignon, this is a "fusion" restaurant based on Cuisine Provencale with a touch of exotic flavours and a lot of creativity.
The atmosphere is cosy with modern paintings on the walls by a local painter and prices are reasonable.

A great value house to rent in the middle of a medieval village between Avignon and Nimes.
The village has 30 potters, vineyards and olive groves. Beautiful.
Cheaper in June than the campsite. Budget airlines 30 minutes away.
Next door to Uzes, the first duchy of France.
