By nine, while rollerblading towards the train station, I already know that Cassis will be the destination. Specifically, the mountains, valleys, and coves of the Calanques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Saint Martin Crau, I get a baguette to go with the salami and olives I already have. At the Monoprix store in Castellane Square, I also get grapes, figs, and water; enough for two days. Another forty-minute bus ride from Marseille takes me to Cassis, followed by another forty-minute walk among the seaside villas until I reach the entrance of the Calanques National (or as they call it here: natural) Park. From there, it&#8217;s just another forty-minute walk above the Miou cove, which rivals for the title of the world&#8217;s most beautiful sailing harbor. A cove that stretches between two limestone cliffs, resembling a river mouth. What makes it interesting is the sunlight and the colors. The water surface almost always sparkles, a true azure that doesn&#8217;t need filtering, and the same goes for the vibrant green forests perched on the white limestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quite a few people walk above Port Miou. Oh, did I mention? You can only drive to the entrance of the Calanques, but it&#8217;s always full, so it&#8217;s much smarter to leave the car in the village. So, the average tourist doesn&#8217;t climb up to the Miou mountaintop. Yet, the enjoyment starts from here, as from these peaks, you can already see the village and a few coves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From this point on, when you can&#8217;t even hear the sounds of civilization, everything is beautiful. It&#8217;s not complicated to describe: shades of blue, green, and white everywhere. But the feeling when I arrive at that beach, embraced by pine-covered mountains on both sides&#8230; And the water quickly deepens among the rocky shore. So clear. Very clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I left in the morning at nine and arrived at the Port du Pin beach at three in the afternoon; eighty kilometers as the crow flies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remaining part of the day shows little excitement: a siesta in the shade, reading, writing. In the evening, at the height of the sunset, I climb to the next mountaintop, just a ten-minute &#8220;walk&#8221; away. I go there because the hiking trails bypass this peak, and also because it&#8217;s a bushy area, so you can&#8217;t see it from anywhere as I set up my hammock between two pine trees. Then I go up three more meters because at the slightly higher top, there&#8217;s a large rock that serves as a perfect dinner table, with the &#8211; now &#8211; dark sea as the backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, outdoors, I watch the movie &#8220;The Warriors.&#8221; It was supposed to rain, so I&#8217;m only in my beachwear, everything else locked in the bag, which I hang on a tree trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air is pleasant now, the scenery is lovely. The scent of the sea reaches here. I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love my life today too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cassis, 2024. 09. 01.
