France Holiday - Day 5 - Cassis

A short drive this morning to the coast and arrived in Cassis reasonable early on Friday morning. Wandered around the port and town centre area and came across a lovely lively market with lots of fresh food and vegetables.


After a nice coffee and some time for Cherry to sketch we headed for a walk out along the nearest calanque. At first along fairly busy roads then out to the headland and then along the edge of Calanque de Port-Miou.


Pretty tired from our walk we headed to our hotel which was an Ibis at the outskirts of La Ciotat - actually in the middle of an industrial estate near the motorway - think Premier Inn style. We had booked easily cancellable hotels for this trip rather than focus on the nicest places given all the uncertainties about travel. The places we stayed were all clean and quiet but not terribly well located.

In the evening we drove into La Ciotat and found a restaurant to eat at the sea front. Cherry had Ceasar Salad and Colin a very nice sea bream.
