A Trip to the Calanques of Cassis
The calanques of the Mediterranean run all along the coast between Cassis and Marseille, and though only one of them - Port Miou, pictured above - "belongs" to Cassis (the others all fall within the kingdom of its bigger neighbour), it turns out that this little fishing port is an excellent starting point to view them.
