We were looking for a creek to swim at, and the staff at the Aix-en-Provence tourist information pointed us towards Carry-le-Rouet - not a creek but a most picturesque cove.
Plenty of pebbles here for Joe to skim stones.
The water was calm and warmish, quite lovely to swim in. Joe didn't get in the water because he was being a wimp.
The next day we stopped at Marseille for the morning. Marseille made quite a contrast to villages and towns of Provence - it's quite more noisy, crowded, colourful and multicultural.
After Marseille, we stopped by Cassis and had lunch upon a rocky shore. The water was pretty damn cold here.
After lunch, we embarked on a lovely drive to St Tropez along winding mountain and coastal roads. We listened to an English radio station that had a lot of ads for superyachts agents... we were now in the French Riviera - the playground of the rich! We stayed at St. Tropez just long enough for a quick dip. There was a lot of tourists, yachts, expensive cars and massive carparks.
