The coastal city of Blackcurrant is localised in the department of the
Rhone delta, in the area Provence-Alp-Coast of Azure. Neighbor of
Ciotat and Roquefort-the-Bédoule, Cassis is an amphitheatre with
sight on the Mediterranean, worked by the Mediterranean littoral,
cliff of the Cape Canaille and the solid mass of the Creeks.
So even if the forest solid masses do not constitute a strong point in
the locality, it is not in so far as the beautiful panoramas miss
there. Moreover, it is clear that the landscape decoration constitutes
the first characteristic of the city.
The tourist Blackcurrant fame rests primarily on its immense
neighbourhoods. And due, the city is an authentic paradise which is
built top of the Cape Canaille and finishes in the Creeks while
passing by the port and the ranges.
It is perhaps more necessary to note only the Cape Canaille, located
on the road of the peaks between Cassis and Ciotat, constitutes one of
most cliffs of Europe top of its 399 m of altitude, in more of being
most of France. With its marked color of red due to its made detrital
limestone rock, it contrasts majestueusement with the blue of the sea
and the horizon. By continuing the road carrying out towards the peak
of this course, one can see on a side the city of Ciotat and other
that of Blackcurrant, the island of Riou, the Blackcurrant gulf
without forgetting the famous Blackcurrant creeks.
Thus, if time allows it, a visit of the Creeks is binding to the
visitors with Cassis on holiday. And due, those hold not very ordinary
feelings for them to enjoy as well starting from the climbings as
stroll through 160 km of marked out paths. The boldest sportsmen, as
for them, can choose on Blackcurrant the mineral scene one of the
adventurous crossings to the evocative names which very often the
chains of anchor mark out, such as Voie without return, Tabarly way,
Grande cruising, Tour of the extreme nozzle of Sormiou and others.
As regards the historical Blackcurrant richness, it is to be mentioned
that the beautiful Blackcurrant seaside resort has, since centuries,
allured the holiday makers who come to visit Cassis. Its picturesque
port and its quays bordered of coffees and restaurants were attended
since old generations. Its old workings and its elegant town hall
built at the XVIIe century have, since the night of opened time, their
gates with the visitors. As for the Blackcurrant stone statue of
Calendal, it throne in the city a such emblem. The Mediterranean
Municipal Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions enorgueillit of the
folklore and the legends of the country by continuously exposing the
local cultural inheritance through various subjects sets of themes
impossible to circumvent.
The tourist activities of Blackcurrant are defined in a word: sea. The
ranges and the marina readily lend themselves to all forms nautical
activities: bathe, fishing at sea, kayak of sea, oar of sea, veil,
idleness, etc. Deep-sea diving finds there an immense play-ground and
discoveries open to the plungers of all the levels. Underwater fauna
and the flora are exceptional, in particular in "falling from
Castelvieil", the meadows of herbarium of posidonies under the Cape
Canaille, the falls of the Cacau Point without forgetting the large
pit, field of the pelagic ones. Better, the underwater cave of Cosquer
exposes splendid 20 000 years old paintings!
