Hi,
A few that I know:
Benoît Fradette le Farinoman Fou
5, rue Mignet, 13100 Aix-en-Provence
farinomanfou.fr
One of the very best bakeries in France, period. Organic flours, breads with levain, long fermentations, some crazy/very original breads too. Not to be missed.
La Paline
Benoît BABINGER
22 Rue Longue Androne, 04200 Sisteron
http://lapaline.fr
Also organic flours / levain / long fermentations. Changed hands not long ago, but same baking team.
La Fabrique à Pain
4 rue Pierre de Coubertin, 13100 Aix-en-Provencehttp://lafabriqueapain.com/
New bakery from the guy who used to run La Paline above. Same philosophy.
Jean-Paul Veziano
2, rue de la Pompe, 06600 Antibes

More a classic French bakery, nice local breads (fougasse, main de Nice...)
If you are planning to go a bit further North to the Lyon area, I can provide a few addresses there.
If you go much further North to Paris (where I live and work), I know many interesting bakeries, some of which I have worked for. Feel free to contact me.
Have a nice trip,
Philippe, baker in Paris
