Cassis Halal Travel Guide

Fontaine Cassis - Fountain at avenue Victor Hugo

"Qu'a vist Paris, se noun a vist Cassis, pou dire: n'ai rèn vist" ("One who has seen Paris and who has not seen Cassis can say: I saw nothing") — these words, spoken by Nobel-prize winning writer Federique Mistral in the local Provençal phrasebook|Provençal language, reflect the great attraction that Cassis exerts on all those who go there.

The little fishing port, tucked between two exceptional natural sites (the celebrated Calanques and the majestic Cap Canaille) offers a concentrated version of Provence and the Mediterranean. The magic begins to work on the little road that leads to the village, winding between vineyards and pine trees. Walk along charming back roads lined with the brightly coloured homes of fishermen. Cassis will be forever remembered by those who see its port, boats and welcoming terraces for the first time.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Cassis

Cassis beach - One of the beaches in Cassis Plage de la Calanque dEn-Vau - Take a boat trip to the beautiful Calanques from Cassis Route des Crêtes from La Ciotat to Cassis - Route des Crêtes from Cassis to La Ciotat

The beaches (remember your swimming costume). These can get very busy in the summer months though.

By far the biggest attraction in Cassit is the Calanques. They are very steep walled inlets and bays along the coast between Marseille and Cassis. You can visit them by boat, or you can hike from bay to bay.

• Hike the Calanques You can easily walk to the Calanques from the centre of Cassis. It's sign posted but if you have a map head to Av. des Calanques where you'll find the first bay which is full of yachts. From there the trails start and you can wander from bay to bay over the hills. You'll need good shoes, and probably a map. The further you go the rockier, steeper and more slippery it gets. Walking tours are also available

• Hike Cap Canaille - route des Crêtes - Cap Canaille is a headland to the east of Cassis. and is the highest sea cliff in France and offers fantastic views of Cassis. To get to the top it takes roughly an hour and a half. The first hour is on roads and the last half is on walking tracks. Be careful near the top, it can get quite windy.

• Take a Boat to the Calanques - The boat trips to the Calanques are definitely worthwhile. A choice of trips is available, either tours or drop-on or pick-ups from the Calanques.

• Rent a Kayak - You can rent kayaks from the first Calanque. The kayaks are on the left hand (eastern) side of the first calanque (the one with all the yachts).

• Rock Climbing - The calanques are a top spot for rock climbers. If you like rock climbing, don't forget your climbing shoes!

Shopping in Cassis

There are plenty of souvenirs available, ranging from the tacky to the upmarket. Some of them can be quite expensive so do shop around.

• La Savonnerie de Cassis 13 Avenue du Revestel €2-5 per bar of soap (depending on size) A small boutique that sells hand made (on site) soaps, moisturisers, private massage oils and other bath products. Everything is made from natural products such as Olive oil. A good place to find affordable but pretty presents.

• L'Atelier des Calanques 3 Rue du Four, 13260 Cassis ☎ +33 6 28 97 33 05 - A boutique that sells hand made candles and candle holders. All very pretty. The owner will also make candles to your specifications if you can wait overnight.

The sea provides a variety of flavours: sardines, tuna, redfish, bass, cuttlefish, sea bream, conger, grey mullet, eel, red mullet, mussels, sea urchins, and squid. The earth provides vegetables coloured by the sun and cut when ripe, honey, herbs, olives...

The seafront is lined with seafood restaurants but they tend to have higher prices than the restaurants away from the waterfront.

Just like Marseille, Cassit is a good place to try bouillabaisse. It's an entire dining experience rather than just a dish. It starts with a thick fish soup and croutons covered in a special Sauce and then is followed by a variety of fish and more of the soup. You need to book a day ahead because they need to get the right fish in for the meal.
