Re: France
My favorites were Avignon and Nice. I loved the history in the latter, plus it feels like the city IS the beach. (Some good water shoes are necessary, though - nothing but stone beaches!)
In Avignon, we just happened to be in town for the annual arts and theatre festival. Unicycle bands, living statues, plays, and all around these little windy streets with the papal palace at the top of the hill. (At least that's what they called it. I think it was a summer house, or something, that's not used anymore.) I was so sad we only got a few hours there, there was so much to see and do. So! if she likes theatre or art, that would be a magnificent week(end?) to visit. Plus all the old buildings, and nooks and cranies.
For Nice, there was a lot of history in that city. We walked around for a few hours and couldn't get more than a few blocks without finding something to tickle our fancy. Tons of little restaurants, but my group wasn't as interested in shops so I couldn't say what's there. There are larger sections of town, too, if you enjoy a combination of old town-modern city. Smelled better than Paris, too. :P
I thought the trip between Auvergne and Provence had the most of what you mentioned. There were rolling fields, most just harvested in June just along the main freeway, little towns, some just visible around a hill. It seems anywhere you go in Europe will have history in it, because they started building structures with incredible longevity long before anyone north of the Yucatan did. Not to mention that everything is MUCH closer since the country is simply smaller.
My mom has a friend who travels the world by kitchen, meeting the chefs of restaurants (since she's a self-taught polyglot) and using their recipes back at home. France is one of her most frequent destinations, so I could ask her if you find you're still looking.
