We really enjoyed Cassis this trip and the wonderful limestone cliffs and caves called "les calanques". It is a very popular place for people from Marseilles to come to sip the very special local white wine and go into ectasy eating slimy things like sea urchins, sea snails, oysters, etc. They go through these sea urchins by the ton and we were offered some for free along the port. We enjoyed them so much that we had them in a seaside restaurant as well. I loved the simple campanile on the apartment building with the leafless plane trees in front of it that I did a painting from the photo I took (see Tuesday, April 23 entry).
