There are so many people in Cassis now that I feel like I am on holiday when I walk outside. Of course, Cassis always feels like a holiday, but these days, even more so. We thought our apartment might be bombarded with sound, but it wasn't. As there are no cars on the port, that makes a massive difference. Also, the noise we hear is more like when you are on the beach and the people around you are talking, but the sea's waves and magnitude muffle it. It is agreeable, friendly, and, like I said, it feels like a holiday whenever we are here.
I admired this woman's skirt. She wore it as a cover-up for her swimsuit.
The open market is brimming with summer's feast.
The melons are like none other.

But they are cute.

Local farmer.
My favorite vegetable/fruit market stand, where 90 percent is grown on her farm.
The quality is superb.
She picks the best and sets it aside for her faithful clients; thankfully, I scored today (after four months of buying from her) as one of her favorites.
Am I becoming Cassisdian?
