Well after a day in Marseille we decided to drive to the other side of its bay and see what was there. After passing through a bit of a tourist town we landed at a place called Callelongue. It sits at the end of a huge bay and is just a tiny village with an even tinier beach.
Great views out to sea though with some large white rocks and the odd passing ship. We decided to stay the night and Joanne did a bit of star gazing watching the odd meteor zoom by. I had read up on a little town on the coast called Cassis but upon reaching there is was chockablock full so we kept going until we found something we liked. I asked a French chap and he said it was OK even when I pointed to the sign, we both sat there feeling a little uneasy.
I went out for a fag and spotted a chap in camo clothes who looked like he was in the MP so asked if it was OK to park, yes he said, I pointed to Vin and then he said sorry no, or at least not overnight anyway so with that we fired Vin up and tried to find another place to stay.
On the other side of town we found another car park with dedicated motorhome parking. This will do for tonight we thought but after my fag walk I found the area to be less than ideal, It was next to a park but it was full of people that looked a little undesirable, quite a few people living rough and lots of wine bottle strew about the place.
Once again we fired up Vin and set off. Not long after we ended up at the town of Le Pradet, We saw a sign for the beach and parking so headed for it. A large dusty, car park awaited us but the area seemed nice enough. I parked Vin right up into the car parks corner so we would be out of the way. There are two actually, we walked to the first which is beyond a small woods and was greeted by clear blue water on a pebble beach, oh and everyone was butt naked too. The following day was pretty lazy, a couple of hours at the beach then back to Vin for the afternoon, most of which was spent constantly wiping either the floor or the table, the wind had picked up and was lifting up the car parks dust and depositing it inside Vin.
