Our legs were feeling the miles walked in previous days so the aim today was to drive to various locations and keep the walking to a minimum. We drove eastwards along the med coast. First stop was Saint-Cyr-Sur-Mer which was very pleasant and seemed to be a quieter and more relaxed Med town. We strolled briefly along the beachfront, sat for a while then picked up some nice filled baguettes and dessert from the very busy local bakery.
We had a short wander along the coast heading further east and stopped for our picnic lunch when we found a spot with stunning views across the next bay.
We then got back to the car and headed onwards towards Bandol but found the car park on the sea front full and roads all crammed and every parking spot for miles around taken. This was Easter Weekend but traffic and busy roads in the afternoon definitely a bit of a problem in this part of the world. We headed homewards via the inland route.
After a short break we headed out for an evening walk around Parc du Mugel. This was a really nice garden with a nice mix of botanic garden style planting and wilder provencal terrain.
We had dinner at Les Minots by La Ciotat harbour which was really excellent. Colin had the steak and Cherry the pigeon.
