Wozza, I have no idea about the A90...

with regards to the South of France, are you actually planning to drive there from Italy?
I have no idea what's where in Italy but if you end up going in the Monaco, Nice, Cannes area, there is a very nice road called "route Napoleon" that is a very good alternative to the motorway and villages all along are nice.

As it goes inland, about 2-3 hours drive from the coast, there is les "Gorges du Verdon", you will have to google it for pics as I'm not good at posting links

it is really nice, the road that leads to it is twists and turns and there are loads of camp sites.

loads of people do rafting, canoeing...

you will also find nice food, sun and affordable places to stay if you don't camp

hope this helps,
Helene
