While our cruise ship was docked at Marseilles, France, we took a very special private excursion to…read moreAix en Provence and to Cassis. In Cassis, we had lunch at a water-side restaurant, Le Grand Bleu, located on the harbor-front in Cassis, recommended by our tour guide. It was a comfortable and welcoming restaurant, but also elegant with white tablecloths. We had an exceptional lunch, and our group of four received excellent service from the attentive staff.
We had a local wine and ordered the catch of the day, which was Sea Bass. It was accompanied by fresh vegetables. The Sea Bass was ample and cooked to perfection with Provencal herbs. We also shared an order of fresh pasta. The freshness and flavor of the Sea Bass was superb! We enjoyed dining at this restaurant so much! This lovely meal was followed by an absolutely gorgeous boat ride through the Calanques National Park of Cassis, France.
