Cassis is tucked, like a pearl, along the Mediterranean coast in southern France. Situated in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of France, Cassis is located just east of Marseille. There has been a settlement at Cassis since Roman times. It’s no wonder. Cassis has dry, hot weather, the allure of the Mediterranean Sea, the Calanques de Cassis, and a breezy pace of life.
I had never heard of “calanques” before a French friend told me the Calanques de Cassis were a must-do on a visit to Provence. Much like a fiord, magnificent limestone cliffs soar sky-high and are punctuated with slim inlets where the Mediterranean Sea laps the shore. These Calanques de Cassis are a marvelous landscape to appreciate and explore. For me, seeing the Calanques de Cassis was a highlight of my visit to Cassis.
