When I lived in Marseille, what I loved most was to escape from the crowded city and go driving in the Calanques. The cliffs facing the sea are wild and beautiful, and the view down to the water is breathtaking. For even greater effect, equip your car before you go with your favorite music to act as the soundtrack for your adventures
What I liked second best was a day of shopping at Ikea...but that's not really unique to France, is it
