La Ciotat & Les Calanques

La CiotatI went to a little city called La Ciotat today with my friend Laura and a group of study abroad students. This is where the Lumiere brothers filmed the first movie and thus invented the cinema. It was gorgeous weather and the sea looked so calm. It was just a great day to be outside.


A tropical-looking park we walked through on our way to a view of the Mediterranean Sea.


There were scuba divers and snorkelers down there somwhere!

The white sand at the bottom made the water look green here and it was so pretty!

Les Calanques
We did some pretty intense hiking along these cliffs, called les calanques, in between La Ciotat and another little city, Cassis. We were up so high - it was just incredible.

You can't even tell where the water ends and the sky begins.

Me and my friend Laura. We hiked for over two hours straight today, at times going up at a really high incline.

What a view, right?
