I assume you are planning for day-trips - not over-nighters. I'm also assuming that you won't have a car.
It seems that both Aix and Avignon will take quite a bit of time to get to/from.
Aix - lv at 8:13 arrive at 12:29
return at 17:25 & arrive back in Monte Carlo at 21:47
both trips involve 2 train/bus changes
that gives you 5 hrs there
Avignon - lv at 9:02 & arrive at 12:52
return at 16:20 & arrive at 21:47
2 bus/train changes on both trips
4 1/4 hrs in Avignon
If you won't have a car, visiting the many small villages in the Nice Hinterland are not an option. You can get to St Paul & Vence by public transportation. I would visit Menton. I'm not a huge fan of Cannes - but many people are & it might be a good place for you to explore.

thank you so much for the replies. avignon was part of my to go list but my conference schedule has changed. it looks like i will fly out from nice to paris instead. I'm a bit disappointed as i was excited to explore Avignon and even checked out train schedules already. I am now looking at Saint Mont Michel as an alternative because of the location from Paris!
