Beside the usual suspects, Nice and Monaco, I would recommend: Antibes (bus route 200, Rapides de Cote d'Azure line) Walk through the old town, see the Picasso museum) Villefranche-sur-mer (Train) (see the Chapelle St-Pierre) St Paul de Vence (medieval village) Eze ((another medieval village with views of the Med) A bit further away: Cassis (with a boat ride to Les Callanques) Aix-en-Provence Arles Avignon Or you can do a tour of the Provence villages (Les Beaux, Roussillon, Gorde, St Remy...) with one of the tour organizers.

You should get Rick Steves Provence And The French Riviera, or (if you're coming on a cruise), his Mediterranean Cruise Ports book. These books not only tell you about lots of options, but have ALL the logistical details you will need to get around the area (far better than any other source). As Sean's post indicated, there's LOTS of choices in that area, so what to see depends on your interests.
