I love this town. 2 hours west of Aix. 10 minutes from the mediterranean. Twice the size of Aix. University town. Very large and pretty old town, all pedestrian-only. Safe. Friendly. 'Nuff said.

Les Calanques
It would probably surprise many folks to hear that the French are avid hikers. The american view of the chain-smoking Parisien doesn't quite match the reality: the French are crazy for hiking. No wonder: the countryside in the south is simply an enormous field of "baby mountains".
Les Calanques (best translation would probably be "the fjords") are definitely one of the most beautiful sites. This park between Cassis and Marseilles is awesome. Jane and I come here regularly.
