Looking at our calendar we realized there were some areas we wanted to see before leaving. Our timetable was getting tight with school still in progress, visitors coming, and not many weekends free. We headed to the Calanques for a few nights for my birthday trip.
We settled in the town of LaCiotat, a small fishing port east of the Calanques, known for repairing yachts.
We headed to Cassis, the next town west of us, after breakfast.
Here we took a morning boat ride to see three of the Calanques.
The wind at times was fierce causing waves to crash against the boat. Once in the inlet the wind subsided and the water was clear and turquoise. We actually all enjoyed tossing and turning on the boat ride.
We ventured on a couple of hikes after the boat ride.
We explored the towns and their markets too.
