Hello everyone! This is Sayaka from quatre saisons. This time, I visited Cassis, a seaside town in southern France with my husband Matthieu in August 2025. There seems to be quite a bustle today as the market is on. But that might not be the only reason – perhaps some are here to swim in the sea too. We last came in February. The atmosphere was quite different back then during the pandemic, but even then, there were many people. (Do take a look at the YouTube video from that visit too!) The cicadas are incredibly loud! The cicadas sing more here than in the area near Aix-en-Provence where I live. There are some stylish little shops too. Let’s take this road. If we go straight down this road, you’ll find the church. This greengrocer used to be a shoe shop, you know. In ancient times, the region of Cassis and its surroundings were inhabited by a people known as the Celtic-Ligurian tribes. From the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD, fortified cities and non-fortified villages are confirmed to have existed on the high ground. During the Roman era, a settlement formed in what is now the city centre. Archaeological excavations also confirm that this area was inhabited from the 1st century BC. Due to barbarian invasions and population decline, the harbour dwellings were abandoned. Residents took refuge on the inland heights of the fortified city, where each family had their own dwelling within the walled enclosure. The stone of Cassis is known for its exceptionally high strength and was once used in public works for the streets of Marseille. Quarrying began in antiquity, and remarkably, it is said to have supplied stone even for the quays of the Suez Canal. There is also a legend that Cassis stone was used for the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in New York. (Whether this is true is unknown.) The Cassis quarries, such as Port-Miou, apparently continued operations until 1982. We’ve reached the street where the market is held. So many stalls are set up, it’s quite exciting. Let’s take a look straight away. It’s early August, but strawberries and cherries were also being sold. The figs look delicious. There was a stall selling kitchenware made from olive wood, which Matthieu loves. The chopping boards are remarkably thin! Olive wood goods are usually heavy, so perhaps this is to make them lighter. Octopus salad, perhaps? Very Provençal and looks delicious. This stall sells lots of prepared seafood dishes. It’s lovely that so many younger people are coming to the market recently! The old-fashioned macarons looked delicious. But we had absolutely no cash… The clothes are so colourful and cute! The basket bags are so cute, I wanted to buy them all! (But they take up quite a bit of space, so I’ll resist!) This square shape soap looks like authentic Marseille soap. The accessories are lovely. The castle above was built by the Count of Beau in the 13th century.
A tower already stood on that site in the 5th century, and the first walls were constructed in the 8th century.
People built houses and lived within those walls.
It’s now a hotel and apparently not open for tourist visits. Next, we came to the market held in this park. Last time we came, there was a market here too! But it wasn’t this big. This market is definitely geared towards tourists. He is actually making pottery here! The turtle figurines are cute. But we’ve no place to put them at home. There were also lavender products. The sachet embroidered with “Cassis” was lovely. Postcards and posters featuring cute illustrations were on sale. We decided to buy vegetables from this stall. I think this man is probably the producer. I opted for 250 grams of cherry tomatoes. The price was €1.90. He had red and yellow ones; We bought the red ones. The olives at this shop also looked delicious, and I debated buying some. There is also a shop selling kitchenware made from olive wood, which Mathieu is looking at. They were also selling Navettes, a famous biscuit from the South of France, and Calissons, a sweet. They were selling pastries that looked Italian. They were selling Banon cheese, famous in the South of France. The first cheese I saw wasn’t Banon, but this one was Banon cheese. It looks similar to the one before, doesn’t it? Madame, that hat suits you perfectly!!! In France, you can be fined for walking around town in your swimsuit, so please be careful. We’ll look for somewhere to have lunch now. There were simply too many restaurants, and they were all so crowded, that we lost all sense of what we actually fancied eating. After walking a short distance, it seemed possible to find a seat more easily than at the previous spot. (It gets crowded near the centre, doesn’t it!) It was a lovely restaurant with an exterior you’d expect to find at Disneyland. And we went into the restaurant right next to it. Matthieu’s burger has chips on top! He seemed pleased as he’d been wanting a hamburger. Apparently, there are no burgers in the canteen at Matthieu’s company, and come to think of it, we often eat them when we go out together. I chose a burger too. This café was lovely too, but as there wasn’t much on the food menu, we didn’t go in. If you stay at the hotel attached to that café, you can surely have breakfast at that lovely café! You can take a tour on that boat, can’t you. They were selling tickets for the boat tour over there! This is a slightly larger boat. Does the name given to this boat have any particular meaning? The sea is so beautiful, it really lifts your spirits. I’ll go and see it after visiting the tourist information centre. Who is this orange statue of? This ship appears to be under repair. We are about to enter the tourist information centre. Left at the entrance, there were brochures and reading materials laid out. There are lots of lovely souvenirs inside the tourist information centre too! The fish-shaped chopping board was absolutely adorable. The wall decorations of turtles, fish, and ships were also very lovely. There were clothes and bags too. If I’d had more time, I would have loved to look around properly! Finally, we got a map with the town guide on it. The view from here was absolutely splendid. I hadn’t realised there were so many people until we got closer to the seafront. The sea is sparkling and beautiful! It’s such a lovely spot; I can see why it’s so popular. The cicada-shaped soap is cute, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy it – it would be a shame to use it! Matthieu says that this kind of soap was used in his schools when he was a child, you still see it in restaurant and town hall toilets nowadays. We’ll walk towards the residential area now. We passed along this street on the way here, didn’t we? Let’s go straight ahead. Those pink flowers you can see over there are bougainvillea! Seeing bougainvillea flowers just makes you want to take photos and videos! There’s bougainvillea in the same spot as the street we saw it on earlier; it’s a very similar street. Cafe Sardine – I wonder if they serve fish dishes! What a cute name. Both streets are lovely, so I hesitated, but we decided to go this way. There are a few artists’ studios in this area! It’s quite windy around here, so the laundry should dry well. To reach the church, turn right. The church is coming into view straight ahead. Not everyone who lives in this seaside town necessarily likes swimming, right? I do like the seaside atmosphere. This church is a Romanesque-style building constructed in 1859 using local Cassis stone. It was built on the site of a former chapel used by the Black Penitents. For a long time, the chapel built within the castle walls was the town’s only “religious” site. However, in 1521, the first proper church was built within the castle walls in Cassis. The next church was built near where the market was just held, but it became unusable due to its proximity to the sea and flood damage. Then, this church was built on this elevated spot, slightly removed from the centre. The breeze feels lovely, and he is saying that if he had a beer, he’d probably fall asleep straight away. This building on the right seems to be a hotel and restaurant. What a stylish establishment! Across the street, you can see the sea! It’s absolutely lovely. I’d love to live in a town with a sea view. When we arrived in Cassis, it was quite busy, so we parked the car quite high up. Climbing the steep slope in the heat to get there was rather tough. This time we visited Cassis. It was great fun, but Cassis in August was quite crowded. The centre and areas near the sea were particularly busy, but once we moved a little further away, we hardly saw anyone. The market had more goods aimed at tourists than vegetables and such. The market might sell different things in autumn and beyond, so we’d like to visit in other seasons too. Thank you for watching this video to the end. See you in the next one!

今回訪れたカシは、フランスの プロヴァンス=アルプ=コート・ダジュール地域圏、ブーシュ=デュ=ローヌ県にある人口約6,700人の海辺の街です。
私たちが訪れたのは金曜日だったのでマルシェが行われていました。
以前訪れた2月の時よりも規模が大きかったので、大勢の人がいて楽しそうに買い物をしていたり、そしてさまざま商品も見ることができて良かったです。
そのあとはランチを食べ、海を少し見た後、住宅街の方を散歩しました。
カラフルでかわいい建物やブーゲンビリアも美しく、楽しい散歩となりました。
かなり気温の高い日だったので、カメラを休めながらゆっくりと滞在しました。
夏にはあまり出かけなかったので、夏らしい雰囲気を感じることができて嬉しかったです。
ぜひ最後までご覧ください♪
