Poor man's Saint-Tropez
Think Hollywood A-lister playground, jet-setter rendezvous, outdoor cafés lining small ports, the yachting elite in haute couture rubbing shoulders with royalty and other sophisticated society insiders -- think Saint-Tropez. Now, think of the afore mentioned hoopla, but without heed to wellborn etiquette and pomp and circumstance. Cassis, the quaint French island less than 20 miles from Marseille, is, at first glance, a charming 18th Century small fishing port. But a quick jaunt through the unassuming port town reveals a perfect summer adventure with intimate beaches and deep blue water open to 13 miles of sandy coastline. It's not hard to understand why this is one of the French Reviera’s best kept secrets.
