We picked up our little car this morning and headed off to Sanary-sur-Mer, Bandol, and Cassis.
John's reaction to Sanary-sur-Mer - "Let's sell everything we own, buy a sailboat, and live here forever!".

Beautiful! Nice protected bay right on the Mediterranean. The village had a really nice feel to it. Plenty of streets to wander but not so large and glitzy to attract hordes of tourists. Of course, this is the end of October and a somewhat rainy day so who knows what it's really like in high season. Quite pleasant this time of the year, though.

Next we headed to Bandol (just west and across the bay from Sanary).

Bandol is much larger with much larger boats and would require a much larger budget. There is a casino in town and it has the look of a real honest to goodness beach resort. Almost like a little St. Tropez. Lots of yachts and many beautiful villas perched on the cliffs above the city. Great place to visit and rub elbows with the jet set.
We drove through Cassis on the way back to Aix. Charming town with many beautiful buildings and a very large marina. We were too tired to stop (it was raining a bit too) so headed back to face the horror that is the garage-space we rented. We are on level -3. The garage is so narrow that there is barely a 6" clearance on either side of our small car when parked. I would include a couple of pictures but it is so dark down there that you can barely see your hand in front of your face. NOT my favorite place to be!
