Cassis, France’s Small Heaven
If you ever visit the Eiffel tower and was amazed by the grandeur, then in the town of Cassis, you will be amazed at the number of coral bay which is incredible scenery displayed in front of the eye.
Cassis, a town in the area of Bouches-du-Rhône, is a small town with views of sky-blue ocean. The blue color is so stunning play, with fishing boats to large sailing ships on it. My family loved the ocean, but ocean in this Cote d’Azur region feels very different, each with his blue eyes that met this ocean directly chuckled amazed.
Actually, the city of Cassis is known more for Gulf reef, even by many as Europe’s most beautiful tourist. But does not mean the old city Cassis has no privileges. From Paris to the city where the number of millionaires living, there is no direct train or plane, must pass through the big city of Marseille. Quickly by train TGV Paris – Marseille 3-hour running time and then connect by train to Cassis area about 20 minutes. The best period to visit this city is from May to June.
Cassis city during Roman times is part of the maritime trade routes to North Africa and the Middle East created by the Emperor Antoninus Pius. Formerly a fishing town of Cassis and crafters shellfish is now arguably as a major tourist destination to enjoy the Mediterranean Sea and admire the charming bay reefs.
What to see and visit here? Revisiting the old town of Cassis, my suggestion on foot, because the city has many small streets with a ladder that is more that we can enjoy on foot. Some of the unique boutiques offer local products to be decorated with lovely hearts entertainer. Any restaurant or cafe can be found in some small way here.
