So you are looking for preserved aircraft in the triangle Hyeres/Orange/Istres?
Next to the airport of Marseille is village Saint Victoret with a small museum on government agencies aircraft:
Two are displayed outside:
More is preserved inside the building, like a S-2 Tracker, an CM.170, Mirage 3, MS760 etc.
Another village near Marseille airport is Vitrolles, it has a school which has a Mirage 3 outside. Inside a CM.170, Broussard and a Corvette are believed to be present.
In the industrial estate of Orange village a museum is situated (

Check out Cuers dump on the Factory side, and also the aeroclub, for some preserved/dumped goodies.
When in the area, you might want to visit the museum of Montélimar (

Since last year Salon de Provence has two (red/white c/s) Tucano's preserved near the maingate, they are both visible from the housing area. Some say they are part of the firedump.
There is some more w&r around this part of France, but it's a good start to begin with on this topic.
