Chateau de Cassis

Cassis  is a town I fell in love in the year I lived in Aix-En-Provence. Cassis is a beautiful resort town just west of Marseille. Hemmed in by high white cliffs, its modern development has been limited and it retains much of the charm lost by its more high-profile neighbors. Built on the side of a hill, the old village is centered around a shady square where the inhabitants come to cool off and play 'pétanque' on summer nights. Portside posing and drinking aside, there's not much to do except sunbathe and look up at the ruins of the town's medieval castle, built in 1381 and now currently a hotel called the Chateau de Cassis. Perched atop Les Falaises Soubeyrannes the 13th-century Château de Cassis is a stunning hotel with five romantic suites accessed via a warren of staircases or tunnels and a fantastic view of the Mediterranean  and the town of Cassis.
