We did a similar trip 15 years ago. Stayed in Paris for a week then took the TGV to Provence. Rented a nice small farmhouse in St Remy for cheap ($500 for a week) through Gites de France. Highly recommend that site for private rentals.
Avignon and Aix are great to visit or presumably stay in.
Funny story on kids and wine.....my wife was 6 months pregnant with our first and they had no problem serving her wine (she only sipped) but practically kicked her out of the restaurant when she asked for coffee....Bad for baby!
