marseille-cassis

For our second day at Marseille, we decided to visit Cassis a small city near by Marseille. Benoit and Lucas enjoyed the beach as well as the food. The Calanques between Marseille and Cassis have some of the finest climbing limestone but since we did not have our climbing gears we decided to pass for this year.

After spending our morning at Cassis, we headed back to Marseille near the Prado, so the kids could play at the park. From there we walked to the skate park which was almost deserted, but Jean-Benoit was still there skating the big bowls. The sunset light was so amazing, no wonder why Cezanne spend quite a bit of time at Marseille.

I had to come back at Marseille to pick up my passport. That's when I shooted that windsurfing photo. It was a pity that I did not have my windsurfing gears since the wind, wave conditions were near perfect.

Marseille

On Saturday we arrived at Marseille (from Toulouse). We stopped by the hotel where the kids were fooling around in the bedroom.

We had the time to find the skate park and try the big bowls. The skate park is so amazing, it is just like the video game. Benoit did good on the mini ramp where He learned how to axle stall. Lucas made some good friend while playing with its lego.

We met with Jean-Benoit, a very fast and skilled skateboarder. It was fun watching him.
