Loire or Provence or ...

Hello all

I am attempting to put together a very last minute trip (don't laugh, travel is down is this economy, right? right???) and was hoping for some opinions on the regions of France. My wife and I have been to Paris a number of times though we have never strayed out into the countryside.

My first two thoughts were for the Loire or Provence. Our biggest desire is to relax and enjoy the wine, food and people. We will probably do some site seeing but the vilages with their cafes and restaurants are of top importance.

Which would you choose to immerse yourself in the culture? Or would you suggest something entirely different (Dordogne, Alsace) ? Additionally, which self-catering company have you used (finding availability hasn't been too bad, though trusting the info is another story!) ?

Thanks for any insight you can provide!
Smitty
