France - South Coast

I have driven through France on a number of occasions and I always enjoy the pleasant driving conditions, there is always the choice of using the toll roads to make good head-way or the smaller roads to take advantage of what we like to call the 'pretty route'.
My favourite destinations are mostly in the South Eastern corner of France typified by the picture below which is probably a street in Nice facing North away from the coast up towards the Alps in the distance
On one occasion, we stayed in Marseilles and wandered down to Cassis the next day. Cassis is a very attractive fishing village which now harbours more luxury yachts than fishing vessels. From here, you can take a trip to the Calanques, deep narrow inlets in the rocky cliffs along the coast between Cassis and Marseilles.
This southern coast is alive with picturesque habours and port towns, each of them has their own charm and character, I have visited several of them, but you would do best to explore on your own, and discover your own favourite destinations.
