We had reserved a miniature car from home and were quite chuffed to
reallise that the car had been upgraded to a Xsara Picasso, which is a
large family minibus type of a car. Only later in Avignon, should we
realise that unneeded space in a car is NOT a plus.
Anyways, shortly after having landed, we were on our way to Cassis via
Marseille. Initially we wanted to stay in Marseille, but after being lost
there for a little hour, we were quite glad to continue.
Cassis at Cape Canaille, is a gorgeous little natural harbour. It is the
starting point to walk alpng the Calangues. This is essentially to be
walking on the cliffs and looking far down into turquise canyons. People
are kayaking and doing all sorts of water sports. Qe had bought salami and
baguette at the market and had the most scenic view with our lunch.
Only after hour first lunch at EUR 40 did we realise that French cuisine is
very different. When the menu is in French and the waiter only speaks
little English, the food order leaves room for surprises...
The room at Hotel Le Golfe was well worth the money and we would stay there
again. We had a scenic view from the balcony via the harbour front to Cape
Canaille in the background, amazing.
