In today's episode Annie and Elyse discuss exploring coastal towns east of Marseille in Provence. Surprisingly, this is a part of France that has a little bit of everything in a small area!

Within a distance of 35 kilometers as the crow flies between the East side of Marseille and Castellet you will find so many different types of great things to do! Great hikes in the Calenques. Boat rides to the Calenques. A visit to the old fishing village of Cassis. Maybe go see the yachts in La Ciotat? Or maybe a little wine tasting in the town of Bandol and its famous AOC? And if none of that sounds good, how about a stroll through the medieval village of Castellet?

Exploring Coastal Towns East of Marseille in Provence

Elyse went exploring coastal towns east of Marseille in Provence with a friend of hers who is a local, so she got to try everything locals like to do in the area. Together they recommends some great lesser-known beaches along the way, Elyse also lists all  the must-sees and the casino you might want to pass on.

Who knew you could get so much diversity along that short stretch of coastline in Provence?
