Cassis Seaside Town The Charm of a Bygone Era
Cheryl Shufflebotham · Explore
“He who has seen Paris and not Cassis has seen nothing.”—Frédéric Mistral; Provençal writer and poet and 1904 Nobel Prize winner in literature.
In just under two hours from our peaceful Vaucluse department in Provence, we arrive at the top of Cassis. Upon exiting our car and breathing in the fresh sea air, we realize that we have arrived at a special place. Our first thought is ‘Why haven’t we come sooner?’
Please read the original article on Cobblestones and Vineyards to look through Cheryl’s photos and we are pretty sure you will agree with Mr Mistral. Located on the Mediterranean coast just a few kilometres from France’s second-largest city (Marseille), Cassis is a seaside town that oozes natural charm.

Although, Cheryl and her husband live in upstate New York, she tells us that she is always yearning, planning, maneuvering to make her way back to France.
Cheryl's love for France started almost eleven years ago with "a once in a lifetime" ten-year anniversary trip. These wannabe expats have been back every year since that trip!
Cheryl's first French love is the region of Burgundy, but then a few years ago, she discovered Provence. Now she admits that she is torn between Burgundy and Provence. It sounds like Provence has her spellbound, "I can’t quite put a finger on what it is about Provence, but its intoxication keeps luring me back for more."
Cheryl started her blog Cobblestone and Vineyards to explore the simple charms of France, those small details that capture the heart.
