Provence, but Not the Riviera

After Paris, our plans are to visit the South of France. Surprisingly, this will likely not include the famous French Riviera area. Why not, you ask? It's too glitzy, expensive, and decadent for me. It's basically like Las Vegas on the beach. There aren't a ton of historically interesting places here either. The fact that the beaches are primarily nude ones is another major reason to stay away. Let's instead just stick to historic, quaint, cheap, and relaxing Provence.
