It has many beaches that are made up of stones unlike the sandy beaches in Australia.
There are lots of mountains at the back of the beaches along the mediterranean and sometimes there are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in some of the countries. Thankfully there are no earthquakes here in France though.
When the sun is shining which happens a lot here along the mediterranean the water is an interesting blue color and many people take photographs of it because of it's beauty.
There are over 400 species of fish that live here in the waters of the mediterranean and yesterday we went to an art show where the local people had made pottery and paintings of many of the fish that live in the sea here. Every day there are always people fishing from the beach or the harbor walls and when we go to the markets to do our food shopping the fish market is full of fascinating creatures to eat! Our favorite is Sardines. They are yummy when Pa cooks them for dinner.
Lots of people use the beach here and there is always someone swimming in the sea all year round as the waters are warmer than a lot of other places in the world. There is even a lady who lives on the beach here. She sleeps there at night on a sun lounge under a plastic sheet that she has set up . She has all she needs right there on the beach and appears happy.
When we drive along the coast road to the different towns we can always see the sea and it is a very busy place with many different types of boats going about their business.
Last week some school children performed a play here in the street about the sea and how important it is to everyone's lives here in this part if France. Many people make a living from the sea and it is very important to keep the sea healthy for the creatures that live in it but also for us .
