About a year ago, I did a foreign study program from my college in Paris. I had been to the city before and absolutely loved it, but staying there for 10 weeks was a different, very positive experience.
During my stay, I also traveled around France on a few weekends and one of the trips led me to the South of France to a small city called “Cassis”. My friends and I stayed in a wonderful AirBnb with the most gorgeous view of the ocean. On our second day, we decided to hike “Les Calanques”. We had heard that the little fjords or bays were supposed to be absolutely stunning.
So we packed our bags with water and sandwiches, put on our best walking shoes, and took a hiking map to explore these “Calanques”. Little did I know that this hike would lead me to see one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life.
The hike itself was quite tough: There was a lot of up and down and every now and then, we even had to almost climb.
The view on the top of mountain was absolutely worth it. It showed me again how beautiful nature is and how important it is that we preserve and treasure it.
The turquoise water of the Calanques and the seemingly never-ending deep blue of the ocean that met with a light blue sky in the distance was incredibly beautiful.
I had forgotten what hikes can make you feel and realized that I was so lucky to get the opportunity to see the beauty of nature.
