Hi,I live in france and after 20 years here I would recommend in provence: l'isle sur sorgue,vence,(inland),as for beach I think roquebrune-sur-mer is the best beach between cannes and menton-laid back,not over-crowded and easy access by train!! .Otherwise for beach going towards spain I would say coullioure!You mentioned that you have only a few days...so I would stay in the cote d'azur as coullioure is 450km from nice and the only other scenic beach is in biarritz(atlantic coast) and unfeasible by car but there is a direct flight between nice and there every saturday(1hr...compared to 12hrs driving!!). I hope you check -out these places via the net,omegaman.

I liked renting a moped from Avignon and just driving past fields of lavender, sunflowers, and pears, I rode to St. Remy de Provence, an old and small village, to Arles, which was nice, and to see Les Baux (cave dwellings high up on a rocky mount). You could also go see the Roman Aqueduct.
I wanted to go to Aix, but didn't have time.
Annecy is beautiful, but closer to Geneva than Avignon.
As for the Cote D'Azur I stayed in Nice and got a moped and drove along the coast both directions. Antibes is pretty and Eze had a cool beach. I also spend a day in Montpellier, which was a very nice surprise!
Next time I go I want to visit Aix, Cannes, Nimes, Cap D'Agde, Collioure, and maybe Marseille.

Southern France is between the main impossible to resist places for travelers. often the sunlight shines all 300 and sixty 5 days around and there are some marvelous places to pass to in South France. Southern France is the main suitable place to choose for a memorable holiday holiday. Collioure is between the captivating and picturesque places in southern France, this place certainly deserve a visit.

South of France is a vast area, but I suggest you to visit three main towns: Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Montpellier.
Bordeaux: Nice town, and lovely countryside (Wine,wine...)
Toulouse: You will fall in love with the city centre.
Montpellier: Because it is close to the Mediterranean sea, and you enjoy a very good weather.
These 3 cities are well linked, thanks to the Motorways A62 and A61.

Antibes is beautiful. On the Meditteranean - close to Cannes, Nice and Monaco. Near a fantastic marine park, Lots of watersports and you can hire boats for a reasonable price.
I loved it!
