I’m going to be studying abroad in Paris next fall and was thinking of taking a long weekend (3 days) in Provence. Right now, I’m thinking of making Avingon my base and daytripping to Arles. Any hotel/hostel suggestions? Is two days in Avingon too much? Would it be worth it to spend one day in each Avingon, Arles and Nimes, or is that too much?

Thanks for the advice!

I think a day in each (and basing yourself in Avignon) is a great idea. Assuming that the 3 days don’t include getting there from Paris, and going back. Even though you’ll probably (I’m assuming) travel to/from Provence/Languedoc by TGV, the commutes will still take up a good part of your day.
