OK, getting back to our friends. It looks like renting a car is going to be the best option for them, because they can actually get there faster than by train. Anybody know of a good place to stay in Provence? Even though they have money, they enjoy quaint but clean B&B's and probably since they will be driving back to Barcelona, staying in Montpellier, Arles, or Avignon would be the best for them. That way they could still get to all the areas pretty easily. I am going to check out Tripadvisor, but do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
