SKIP ST. TROPEZ – GO TO CASSIS

One of the last few days of our month in the South of France, brought us to the most gorgeous little seaside town on the Med – Cassis.

Wikipedia tells us:

Cassis (French pronunciation: [kasi, kasis]; Occitan: Cassís) is a commune situated east of Marseille in the administrative department of the Bouches-du-Rhône in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in southern France. It is a popular tourist destination, famous for its cliffs (falaises) and the sheltered inlets called calanques. The wines of Cassis are white and rosé, and not to be confused with crème de cassis, a specialty of Burgundy which takes its name from blackcurrants (cassis), not the commune.

A friend of ours had a little yacht of sorts, so we took to the water!

Whilst PopYaCollar was more focused on the street fashion to be found in the perfect seaside gem (as she does), I was more interested in the beaches, yachts and schtoinking pads, plopped along the white cliffs of that particular part of the Med!

They certainly are living the holiday over there – good work, people of Cassis!

Highly recommended if you’re ever in the area!
