Cassis is a small village East from Marseille. Napoleon Bonaparte hung out here! While exploring…read moreCassis, I felt as though Mary Magdalene was here, too; I passed so many churches driving on the way to Cassis from Marseille . . . The gorgeous scenery made you stop driving taking panoramic pictures of everything.
If you must mail something home, this is the best post office because there are no lines! I mailed a few postcards to NorCal and decided exploring Cassis. Just down the way from the post office is Cassis Beach. I stayed here sunbathing all day.

However, I was unaware of Cassis' parking scheme, so I got a Cassis Gendamarie parking ticket while sunbathing at the beach! (X _ X) Doh! I ran into the Cassis Police Station exclaiming, "Je suis désolé, sergent de la police, je n'ai pas vu les panneaux de stationnement partout où j'ai garé ma voiture!" The Police Sargent ordered I pay a $30 USD parking fee immediately or have my rental car towed! Noooooo~! (X , X) !
