Day 10 Thursday 16th October Hyere to Cassis

 We had booked for 3 days but decided to cut our losses and move on. We parked at a sandy ( ish)  beach 20 mins on from the campsite which was all closed up and idyllic to swim in , waters crystal clear and very peaceful Dozed in the sun. I thought of Eric Rohmer's classic French films set  on the beach.Plage de La Capte.



We headed for  Cassis a 2 hour drive  using tolls as there was no booking ahead and only one 2 star campsite suitable.  This campsite ( another Les Cigales)  was wonderful by comparison to the last one  . Hedges for privacy and spacious pitches ( you know how much the English love their hedges) up in the hills above Cassis. Bus stops outside the campsite to Cassis and Marseille. Cool at night and no mozzies🎉 We chose to walk down to Cassis with our swimming things ( 20 mins ) for a quick swim   and caught the bus back up. Very happy to be here.



Agatha Christie type house I took a fancy to 🙂
