I had plans to do hiking and they went out the fucking window. What're some cool, non-strenuous things to do in Southern France? I've seen Carcassonne and I've been to Toulouse, which I'll def return to.
I have two weeks pls help

>Go to Chateauneuf-du-Pape and get shitfaced
>Go to Avignon and wander around the city, avoiding the Palais des Papes which is always packed as fuck
>Go to Marseilles to get yelled at by drunks in the middle of the day, visit the Chateau d'If and/or listen to dank North African music; avoid the alleys and only stick to the areas along the water; take the ferry to Sardinia
>take the TGV up to Burgundy/Alsace and eat good food, rent a bike and explore using the region's superb network of bike paths

Solid suggestions, but my body can't handle the biking atm.
For Sardinia, it seems really couply. Will I feel forever alone if I go there?
Chateauneuf: is there any merit to be said for getting shitfaced in a town of 1000 people?

Wine tours are always a good idea anon, and plenty of MILFs will be there.
>Sardinia
No idea about Sardinia myself, I just recommended it because cousin said it was cheaper than Corsica and really awesome. Also the ferry from Marseilles doesn't go to Corsica either. But if it seems couply, I'd avoid.
Also there are Roman ruins in Arles, Orange and Nîmes if that's your thing.

Montpellier is pretty nice, Albi is great if you are into preserved old architecture
I usually recommend people to go to the Massif Central, it's a large area full of treasures mostly unknown to foreigners, small medieval villages, natural beauty, to tier food, lowest population density of the country...But it's great if you are in shape and able to spend a lot of time walking, and I take it from your posts you had some accident or something

>Def into the Roman ruins though, thanks for the suggestion.
Then you have large choice around here
>Arena + "maison carrée" (one of the best preserved Roman temple) + several gates and another temple in Nîmes
>Highest Roman aqueduct nearby (Pont du Gard
>Arena in Arles
>Theatre in Orange + Roman triumphal arc
>Theatre in Vaison-la-Romaine + other remains in ruined or in perfect shape
>Several Roman roads like the Via Domitia
>Ruined city of Glanum
>Another well preserved temple in Vienne
>Theatre in Lyon (that's a bit more north tho)
>Several Gallo-Roman villas like in Montmaurin
>Ruined arenas and baths in Nice
And I am forgetting a shit ton, since those are mostly in the south east

everything below Lyon is southern France, we have pretty much whatever you want
>this week, in Annecy, there's an animation film festival
>in 2 weeks, in Vienne (30min from Lyon), there'll be a jazz festival
>a week later, there's a festival in Avignon
