Cassis ・Calanques：
Cassis is the town situated in the east of Marseille. It’s a small port town, but always lively with many visitors. Around the port are the typical Provençal houses and colorful cafés. These buildings stand in the limited space with a lot of slopes, and this makes it a little difficult for drivers to reach the port.
The coastline between Marseille and Cassis is also very unique geographically. Several inlets called Calanques lie in the area, and they provide vacationers with excellent locations to enjoy calmness. Some cliffs are more than 300m high. Some people sunbathe on the beach, some enjoy boating, and some others enjoy rock-climbing. Everyone comes here to benefit from the nature of the Mediterranean Sea.
The proverb says, “even if you have seen Paris, you can’t tell anything until you see Cassis.” It’s worth visiting once.

This restaurant also has a beach right in front of the terrace.

Provençal mayonnaise which comes with the dish is also a must-try.
Put some on the bread and dip it in the soup!
