Take some time for the countryside. Drive the route du cidre in Normandy, taste all the cider, calvados, and cheese the region has to offer. The WWII stuff in Normandy is incredible and can't be missed, but those other things really make you appreciate the region.

Toulouse is a neat city, parts of it are young and college-towny. Worth a few hours on your way south.

I would do Avignon and pick one out of Nimes and Arles. Do the canoe under Pont du Gard. It was fantastic in October, and would be even better on a hot day in June. I also recommend checking out the cotes du Rhone wine route. Find a couple wineries that look interesting and do a tasting. Pick a town in the Luberon and go on market day. Or do a hike in the Luberon. Outdoors in Provence is incredible.

Definitely do the chateaux de la Loire on your way back.

I can't speak to Arles, but Nimes is absolutely amazing. Only a 20-30 minute train ride from Avignon.
