Cassis and "calanques"Full day tour from Avignon
Cassis was a very ancient fishing port and is an interesting village to visit. The village was rebuilt on the old ruins in the 18th century, resulting in a more regular layout than most other medieval villages. Some of the buildings, however, date. A walk through the old village streets will reveal some nice old buildings, some dating back to the 16th century, and some restored with the colorful pastels Other sites in the village are old fountains and an open-air artists market where we bought a few small paintings Cassis is still a small fishing port, but the little fishing boats now share the harbor with yachts and boats for visiting the calanques, a trip you shouldn’t miss. The first of the white Cassis stone quarries in the Calanques was opened in 1753. Wine of Cassis Wine was being made around Cassis even before the Greeks arrived around 600 BC, and it’s only gotten better. The appellation Cassis wine, received the Appellation d’Origine Controlée in 1936 — the first in the region. It’s produced in red, rosé and white, with the white being the most famous.
