Answer 1

That's quite a big area so you need to give us a bit more detail about what you enjoy.

A good place to start looking for ideas is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provence-Al...

Then click on some of the "Departments" listed down the right hand side. My favourite area is the Hautes-Alpes which is relatively undiscovered by British tourists who tend to head straight for the coast. I love the area around Gap and the lake of Serre-Poncon. You can follow a link on the Hautes-Alpes page.

Answer 2

Les beaux de Provence.  Ancient ruins in dramatic country side.
