After sleeping in, we had a leisurely breakfast in the garden of our b&b. We drove to Cassis midday and had a lovely lunch overlooking the pier.

More yummy fish and ile flottante (floating island) - a favorite dessert of mine in France.

Then we took a boat tour of the calanques. We went on the 90min tour of 8 calanques. It was super pleasant with the salty wind and occasional spray and amazing views of the calanques from many angles. I had originally planned a kayak trip along the calanques but this was actually much better - we saw more calanques and from a better vantage point. I highly recommend it!!

For dinner, we went to le Chateau, which is a restaurant at the tip of calanque Sormiou. It was a harrowing but majestic drive down and all the food was great. The view was beautiful. We got lucky and got a table because of a cancellation.
