Before the trip - enjoying July#4 - Marseille and Sainte-Baume
Another train ride in July - this time heading clear south down to Marseille to meet up with my friend Lucile, after 5 years without meeting up!
Also meet up with my cousin Jeano for an escape in the natural beauty of the inland between the coast and Provence, more precisely Plan-d'Aups-Sainte-Baume and the natural parc of Sainte-Baume. Looking on the little map on my phone, I see a patch of green and suppose that can be a good place to be in nature, away from the sound of cars, and Booking shows me a really nice looking Maison d'Hote called Maison Rouge - that will be perfect! and indeed it was, completely in nature, the sound of crickets and beautiful paths to hike in the forest and on the rocks. Also a sacred place where Marie Magdalene took refuge the last 30 years of her life. The cave is now a little chapel and place of pilgrimage for many. Good times of slowing down, early morning hiking and cousin catch-up time!
Stunning place: Calanque de Sugiton, 45min hike down really worth it!
