We left the mountains for the coast again, this time to the section of coast between Cannes and Marseilles. We stayed a couple of nights in the area of St.Tropez (but not in pricey St. Tropez itself!), and then two nights in Cassis. The first picture is a typical village cafe and boulangerie, this one in the village of Giens where we went on market day.
The next picture is the waterfront at Cassis. We took a boat ride along the coast where there are calanques (similar to fjords) cut into the limestone cliffs.
The third picture is a street in Cassis. This looks very calm but when we arrived there on May day, a holiday in Europe, the town was crowded with people from all the near by cities. We were relieved to see them all leave that evening!
Fourth is a picture of us with the town of Cassis behind us and the highest cliffs in France in the background. The previous day we did a scenic drive along the top of the cliffs and a few short hikes up there as well. The last photo is of our hike to have lunch up on the cliff. We had many tasty goodies from the market in Giens.
