What is the best way to get from Southern Spain to Provence

Considering a trip to Seville and Granda for a week then to Provence for a week next March. Which is the most efficient way to get from one to the other?

I can't seem to find any direct flights, just either Madrid to Marseille or Seville to Paris. Is it possible to take the train? Would even consider driving but it looks like a pretty long drive and not sure I want to pay the hefty fees to rent a car in Spain and drop off in France.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I presumed that you had looked from Madrid. I just checked from Madrid to both Marseille and Paris...no problem finding those flights, either...

I have been unable to find a flight from Malaga to Marseille - do you know who flies that??

I am able easily able to find flights from Madrid to Marseille, but was hoping not to have to drive to Madrid. How long would it be to drive from Granda to Madrid? Thanks!

There are several possibilites from Southern Spain to Provence.
The must efficient way IMO is:
Organize your trip in Andalucia in order to end in Sevilla instead of Granada, Then train to Madrid and flight to Marseille or Nice.
Another way is to fly from Sevilla to Barcelona and train to Provence.
This will be a good option if your destination in provence is somewhere in the train way.
Driving is loooong, and tiring.
Granada-Madrid-Barcelona-Nice=
1100 miles.
Car rental plus drop plus gas will certainly be very expensive unless you are traveling in a large group.
