St Remy de Provence - Beautiful town steeped in history. Buy a baguette and a hunk of cheese from the Wednesday morning market, then picnic in the grounds of Van Gogh's sanatorium. A few minutes away is Glanum, the most significant archaeological site in France, like a mini-Pompeii and not to be missed.
Avignon & Aix-en-Provence - Avignon's famous bridge stretches halfway across the Rhone and then stops. Follow Cézanne's footsteps around Aix, then stop for coffee 'Aux Deux Garçons'.

The bridge at Avignon
To the Sea - Cassis, a bustling little harbour lined with cafés and bars, where you can watch the fishing boats come in if you are up before breakfast.
