The magic already works its wonders on the little road that takes you to the village snaking its way down between vineyards and pine woods. The charm shows itself as you explore the little alleyways and squares edged with colourful fishermen’s houses. Cassis marks everyone’s minds forever as they discover the harbour for the first time, its boats and welcoming café terraces.

French legend says that after the death of Jesus, Mary Magdelene and several disciples escaped persecution from Herod in Palestine by boarding a small boat (with no sail and no rudder) and setting off across the Mediterranean Sea. Miraculously, they made it to the southern coast of France and landed in Les-Saintes-Maries-de-Mer, between Marseille and Montpellier. Mary and the disciples became the first Christians to set foot in France. Mary preached alongside her brother Lazarus in Marseilles before settling in a cave on the side of a steep cliff in the Sainte-Baume mountains south of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume. Known today as Grotte de Sainte-Marie-Madeleine (The Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Cave) or Le Sanctuaire de la Sainte-Baume (The Sainte-Baume Sanctuary), she lived out her life there devoting herself to prayer, contemplation and solitude. Several hundred years after her death her cave had become a famous Christian pilgrimage site. Today it is still a very popular destination for believers and non-believers alike, having been turned into an actual church. Fascinated by the legend and the history I paid the site a visit not too long ago.

Glacière du Gaudin dite de Pivaut
D95La glacière de Pivaut (officiellement glacière du Gaudin) est une glacière située sur la commune française de Mazaugues au lieu-dit Le Gaudin. La glacière est bâtie dans les années 1880, mais face aux avancées technologiques de l'époque, elle n'est utilisée que quelques années[1]. Trois bassins d'un total de 5 000 m2 sont construits en même temps juste derrière la glacière afin de l'alimenter en glace l'hiver.
