Done the city? Want to taste the countryside and culture of Provence to the south of Avignon? Well, hire a car from the TGV station and head for the village of Maillaine. Try the excellent chambres d’hôte at Mas de Mouret for two nights, visit the lively St Remy market on a Wednesday morning, then have a superb lunch at La Maison Jaune. In the afternoon visit the incredible Cathédral d'Images near Baux-de-Provence – lovely and cool on a hot day. In the evening find a quiet café to your liking in Maillane, Graveson, Chateaurenard or Noves.
