Provence is a beautiful area of France with nice landscapes, cute villages and great food/wine.

As usual for visiting France, your first stop should be the tourism offices from the regional level (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur) down to the department and town level. Browse a few of those sites to see what catches your eye. You can get around by train and bus, although neither will be as fast as the high-speed trains farther north. You can download the local TER train map here. As you can see, the small towns are not as well-connected as they are in Belgium/The Netherlands, so you may want to consider a rental car. Although it's not totally necessary.

A few highlights from my travels: * The Verdon Gorge is stunningly beautiful * Cassis and the Calanques de Marseille are quite nice as well. We camped in Cassis for like 20 EUR a night because the hotels were really expensive. * Briançon is a nice town in the mountains, there is a cool fort and some hiking options. It's also close to Italy (Col de Montgenevre), giving a nice possibility for a road trip that goes into Italy towards Turin (without paying for tunnels).
