SURROUNDED BY JELLYFISH! (Vanlife - Le Ciotat + Les Calanques, France)

Bonjour from us!
After the stress of Marseille, we sought refuge in a town called Le Ciotat, a short drive east along the coast, where we found ample street parking a minutes walk from a sandy beach overlooking the Medierranean Sea.
The waters were calm and the weather bright, so we planned a day trip to Les Clanques, a range of rocky cliffs with secluded, natural coves and beaches.
We picked La Calanque de Figuerolles, closest to the town, which has a historic and curious relationship with a cafe there.
The beach was busy, but why was no one was swimming in these clam, twinkling, turquoise waters?
We discovered why, but with our wetsuits, AKA body armour, we decided to brave it!
But did we survive unscathed??
Many thanks for watching, and LIKE & SUBSCRIBE as they say! :)

    Good on the kids for catching the jellyfish and studying them. Glad you found the poo empty point.

    They were really fascinated, as were the rest of the folk on the beach! One of the few points in the area! Thanks Robert 😁❤️🙏🏼

    Near to been full a toilet. Hide the cassette in a rucksack flight bag transit cover then walk into public WC and dump it leaving toilet as found. Have only had to do it twice in last few years. If you had a Refillable Gas System the Auchan Fuel station has LPG as well.

    Ours was near 16kg and the smell was like death... Might have got away with that but there would have been lasting damage 🤣

    Thanks very much! Think they naturally pop into narrow coves like this due to the lack of current, so worth bearing in mind! Thanks for watching ❤️🙏🏼

    You need to see if there are French Passions around that area. You have to join it but they are in people's gardens, vineyards etc and are free. They just sometimes like you to buy goods if they have any. Could be good for your family. Do you home tutour when you are home?

    We were using a lorry sat nav that someone kindly gave us, however it gave up the ghost so we switched back to Google Maps. Not ideal!

    We were very lucky just having all the wet suits and wet shoes! Don't think they would have dared otherwise. Thanks for watching Linda 😊❤️
