The Mediterranean Sea

Another beautiful day in France, perfect for a day trip to the beach! We drove along the Riviera looking out towards the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. We started the day at Cassis, a nice little town just next to the Calanques. We stopped at a lookout over the sea and watched the water sparkle under the sun, while eating morning tea.

We kept driving along the coast until we arrived at Sanury-sur-Mur. We ate a picnic lunch sitting on some rocks at the beach, while watching the boats come and go. All the boats were covered in fishing nets. We watched as all the seagulls milled around the nets, picking out any old fish pieces. We walked through town looking at the shops, and afterwards we bought an ice cream.

We kept driving and stopped at Cavalaire-sur-Mer where we had a swim. It was quite cold, but very refreshing. There was a small pontoon 100 meters off the beach, where you could get out of the water and use it for diving off!

St Tropez is an old town, with a large port, where many celebrities and wealthy people dock their luxury boats. We had fun watching them dock, and trying to see who was on them. There were many workers on the boats, as they are so large that they require many people just to maintain them.

The boats looked very beautiful with their lights and candles lit up.

We sat at a seafood restaurant across the road from the boats to eat dinner. For entree I had mozzarella and tomatoes. For my main meal I enjoyed a steak, salad and chips.

Dessert was definitely my favourite part as I devoured fresh raspberries and cream. We also shared a St Tropezienne - a caky top and bottom, filled with a very thick layer of cream! Bad....

Mum and Dad drove home whilst Sean and I slept for the 3 hour journey back to Mormoiron :-)

Au Revoir,
