🏖️ Calanques
May 2018
We packed all our climbing gear and flew from Montreal to Lyon. We then drove all the way south, which marks the start of the adventure. The first stop is in Gordes.
Then, Sénanque Abbey.
Followed by Vauvenargues.
Ruby sur cascade et violettes.
We enjoy a little apéritif at our Airbnb in Aix-en-Provence.
The next day, we visit the Clos Sainte Magdeleine vineyard and winery, in Cassis. While Cassis is renowned for its white wines, my favorite here was the rosé which was extremely mineral, with tasty notes of grapefruit.
We enjoy the stupendous views from the Route des Crêtes and the Cap Canaille.
Une vue quoi de plus... scénique.
We end up in La Ciotat.
And Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer.
The next day, we go climbing in the Calanque de Sormiou.
Solide session d'escalade.
Petit pano depuis la falaise.
Coteaux d'Aix en falaise.
We go back again by Cap Canaille.
We get a boat and go visit some more calanques, starting by En-Vau.
We have dinner on the port of Cassis.
Time to climb on the Sugiton.
