Provence, specifically the region around the Luberon. This is probably one of my most memorable vacations in France as life slowed down here. Beautiful hilltop villages dotted throughout the region, which date back to the Roman times. Weather is spectacular. Landscape is beautiful surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and lavender fields in between the historic hilltop villages that dot the area. The villages are spectacular - from Bonnieux, Menerbes, and Gordes. Also the daily/weekly markets in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where you can shop for local produce or antiques, which Provence is specifically known for.

Head to the Grand Canyon of France for a day - Verdon Gorge, or the Pont du Gard to soak in the river. Head up to Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Gigondas to enjoy another wine region just a short drive away. The coast is a couple hours away as well - Saint-Tropez, Cassis and the Calanques are stunning.

We visited in September and booked a villa in Bonnieux with 5 people having a great time. Our place was just as old as the village with wide scaping views of the valley. We flew into Marseille and rented a car (which is a must to get around). You mentioned visiting Lyon, which is about 3 hour drive away. We drove, but a train from Avignon is an option to get around as well. Highly recommend on all accounts.
