Cassis is a beautiful village tucked into a cove with a couple of small, but nice beaches. It’s like a dream village for those who would like to get up, have coffee looking out on the water, lay in the sun and wade in the clear, blue water. There is a scenic road the winds along the cliffs above the sea between Cassis and La Ciotat we were going to drive, but it was closed. The road up the mountain on the way was so steep that the VW Up! we are driving could barely get Up the road — truly “hors catégorie” on the grade of that road. The last photo is face of Mont Sainte Victoire. Cézanne painted the profile of the Sainte Victoire looking east.
Off Center & Not Even 
Wish I were there!
You are your camera would love it;• )
Vive la France!!! Beautiful photos and great weather (I think?). 😉
The weather has not been so nice. Really high Mistral winds and cold temperatures.
Oh, I’m sad to hear that. So it’s not only bad weather in Holland… Normally in France it’s great in springtime, but I think you enjoy it anyway…
The weather hasn’t stopped us from having a great time exploring, but it has stopped us from getting to Château d’If off the coast of Marseille.
Too bad! How come? Is it because of the wind?
When the sea is rough landing at the island is very dangerous, so they close it.
Maybe next time???
Love the reference to the “hors catagorie” road–that says a lot!
