TOWARDS MARSEILLE
Sanary-sur-Mer
Pretty-as-a-picture seaside Sanary-sur-Mer is a stroller's dream. Watch the fishers unload
their catch on the quay, or admire the traditional fishing boats from one of the seafront
cafes. Wednesday's colourful
market
draws crowds from miles around. Shops line interior
streets. Novelist Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) called Sanary home in the early 1930s.
