Day 13 - Sunday, May 6th - Villefranche-sur-Mer to Cassis


Again, our day started out cloudy with a few showers along the way.  Luckily, though, the weather turned beautiful just before we arrived at our final destination for the day, Cassis.  
Cassis is a lively little fishing village filled with colorful boats and buildings.  The town was crowded with people when we arrived, but it seemed to quiet down as the afternoon progressed.  Perhaps the crowds were heavy because it was a Sunday and everyone was enjoying the beautiful weather on their day off, or the fact that it was France’s election day.  We’ll never know.  I guess we will have to return someday on a weekday just to check it out.  Anyway, I really loved this charming village and have made it my photo of the day.  It’s easy to see why it has been called “the prettiest costal town in Provence”.
