May is a nice weather time to visit this area. It can be busy here, but at least you will not be there during the peak summer tourist season. What are your exact dates there and how time will you have? Tell us more about . . . your budget, personal and travel interests, past Europe and France travel experience, etc. How much are you interested in history? Countryside vs. cities? Planning to have a car? What do your children most like to do? Museums, food, wine, art, music, shopping, architecture, etc.? How much of it in a leisurely style versus fast-paced? Then, with more detailed information from you, we can make better, more specific suggestions on what best fits your needs and interests.

 

Below are some of my visual samples for what is there to enjoy, including the nearby and scenic mountain-top village of Eze, Provence, etc.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio
