Cassis is reminiscent of Saint-Tropez in the 1960s. Cassis is located in a monumental natural setting between Cap Canaille, the highest coastal cliff in Europe, and the white limestone cliffs of the Calanques, the so-called Mediterranean fjords. Cassis is surrounded by pine trees, oaks, viburnums, evergreens, rosemary, Mediterranean fruit trees, and of course vineyards, where the fantastic local rosé wine comes from. There is a mixture of Provence and the Mediterranean here. Once the inhabitants of Cassis got used to the local artists wandering the streets and embankments, they were followed by exotics from Paris, and then visitors from far away began to appear. The English also came here to enjoy the breathtaking view. Apparently they were so cold in foggy Albion that they discovered for themselves and for the world amazingly beautiful places on the Mediterranean. The famous English writer Virginia Woolf visited here with her sister Vanessa and the bohemian group from Bloomsbury. Virginia Woolf called Cassis "a little paradise". Scottish and English artists diligently painted Cassis and its surroundings. Winston Churchill, the famous British politician, also visited here. Painting was one of his many talents; in the 1920s, he spent time in Cassis and left us several canvases. Churchill traveled a lot when time allowed, and enjoyed painting, which helped him cope with depression. During his life, he painted about 500 pictures, many of which can still be seen in his studio in Chartwell. The famous Provencal poet, author of a two-volume Provencal-French dictionary, and Nobel Prize laureate in literature, FREDERIC MISTRAL, was also enchanted by Cassis and its surroundings. And I would like to finish this video with the words of Frederic Mistral, which have already become a proverb.. "Whoever has seen Paris but has not seen Cassis has not seen anything" Video #173 Support the channel: Mir Card 2202200919130466 ALLA POZDEEVA Tel. linked to Sberbank +7 951 729-49-23 PayPal: [email protected] ????
