In reply to Jim 1003:
Piece of advice for those planning a trip to Provence regarding car break ins:
For your tranquility, you can rent a local car from a local through a company like Drivy:
https://www.drivy.com/
It is cheap, you are insured, and can have an old non flashy car with the "door opener" 13 plate number. (This is the number for the Marseille-Aix-Arles-Shire).
Then do not leave anything inside, remove the boot shelf, and, best, let the car open so thieves do not break windows to check by themselves...
This being said, Sainte Victoire is a paradise for low grade multipitch routes.
When you have booked your flight, do not hesitate to ask about the routes there.
Update: I would avoid Nov-Dec period because of the weather. Winter months are better. And Calanques are a very decent Plan B in case of Mistral (north wind)
