Cassis

IMG_1953

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.

As much as I love these, I cannot wear them. My foot is like a sloppy joe inside of them. 

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?

  1. A few years before Covid, some e-pals were planning a trip to Provence, so I passed along the link to a post you’d recently done about Chez Gilbert, in case they visited Cassis.
    Long story short: Upon returning home to the U.S., they reported having had an excellent dinner there. Merci!

  2. I love all you share. I love the farm fresh foods too
    and thanks for all you share
    Hugs

  3. Our favourite restaurant there also. The BEST FISH SOUP i have ever tasted. Oh, how I miss being there.
    Gilbert is such a character. Great for people watching, like being in a theatre…

    Oh my feast for the eyes. Oh to stroll through a marketplace. Soooo i stroll with you vicariously. Life in Dallas is reminding us of covid. Get out early, water the plants, run errands, and get back home by noon as the heat is oppressive. 107 yesterday. Thank you for sharing.
