We thought that the beaches we had seen in Cassis were very nice but when we saw the ones in Bandol we knew this is why people flock to the south of France for the sea, sand, and sun. The beaches were sandy instead of rocky and instead of dropping right off the water level went deep very gradually. From the beach we could see many sail boats, larger ships and even a French navy vessel. Rod’s dream of owning and spending a year on a sailboat is back into high gear. Rod and Logan especially liked the sights at the beach (did we mention that tops are optional on French beaches?). Once we had enough of the beach (and oogling) we walked into the market area of Bandol. For lunch, we decided on a restaurant that featured mussels. When served, the mussels arrived in a boat with French fries or salad. It was a great presentation. The consensus was that the French mussels rocked. After this we had ice cream, of course.
I don’t know what it is about being at the beach that makes a person so tired. We felt like we had the stuffing kick out of us. So the rest of the evening was pretty low key. We started packing our bags and cleaning the apartment knowing that we would be leaving in the morning.
