Celine's sister lives in Sausset; a small and very beautiful little village about 40km from Marseille. The town is right on the sea and is part of the Côte Bleue, or Blue Coast. There are four villages along the Côte Bleue each around 5-10km apart.
cafe on the waterIt is very relaxing and peaceful here with consistent blue skies and crisp costal breezes. There are cafes that line the seafront and some great places to eat. The kids go to school a stone throw away from the beach. I don't think I have seen a better located school. This morning Celine and I dropped them off at school and then went for a walk along the water. I got a little too close and got hit by a wave. At around 6 degrees it was a cold walk home.
the water looks nice but is damn cold
nearby NiolonOn Sunday's there is a cool little market with some mouth watering food. After an early breakfast on the water and a stroll through the market we took the car to nearby Niolon, before heading back to Marseille. We took some left over Pizza (seriously good) and sat by the water. Apparently there are some boat tours you can take from Marseille which comes around to some of the small towns on the Blue Coast. If you don't have access to a car then that is definitely a must because these towns are very typical south of France and most not be missed.

Seriously tasty pizzaSausset is really a beautiful part of the world and luckily you don't have to share it with too many other people. Our days at the moment are spent between Celine’s Mum in Marseille and her sister in Sausset. There has been a lot of family get together's and parties for various reasons which has been a lot of fun. My french is slowly improving.
