The first of the white Cassis stone quarries in the Calanques was opened in 1753.
In 1443, Cassis became a parish independent from Roquefort, and was ruled by the bishops of Marseille during the end of the 15th century.
Cassis, Bouches-du-Rhône - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (466 words)
Cassis is a town commune of the Bouches-du-Rhône département, in southeastern France.
From the 5th to the 10th century, invasions by the barbarians led the population to seek refuge in the castrum, a fortified city that, in 1223, became the property of the Seigneurie des Baux de Provence.
In the 15th century, Cassis was ceded to the Counts of Provence, then King René gave the town to the Bishops of Marseille, who exercised until the Revolution of 1789.
