November is a lovely month in Provence. Everyone is back at work or school after a two-week break in late October, including la Toussaint (All Saints). The weather, while variable, is nothing that layered clothing can't solve.
Aix-en-Provence is terrific in the autumn for sightseeing and visiting museums and art galleries. Discover Mont Sainte Victoire. The mountain offers hiking options for all fitness levels, and the Côtes de Provence vineyards in the area are worth a visit. Göran Boman shares tips for wine tasting in November.
It may not be beach season in Marseille, but there is plenty to do; here is a 3-day itinerary. Founded by the Greeks and developed into a significant trading hub by the Romans, Marseille is steeped in history. Beyond the historical sites are museums, art galleries, markets, and shopping. Marseille is a paradise for food lovers, with the iconic bouillabaisse and a diverse range of global cuisine.
