I am planning to go to the South of France at the end of this month. First we will fly to Marseille to visit some friends who will lend us a car to travel to the south. This guide really gives me an idea of places to visit and things to do.

All the information is very interesting and since I
have been in Aix en Provence and the French Riviera,
good memories were in my heart. Is France going to
be the winner in the World Soccer Championship ? Regards

A place not to be missed is the small coastal village of Cassis. Just a short train or bus ride from Aix, this seaside town offers stunning views and beaches.
