Day 15,I slept in Martigues port

Today's road was mostly windy and quite boring, besides some typically small beautifully towns, and old cool cars, not much happened,a lot of cleaning up from yesterday's national France day,I slept near a natural reservoir with flamingos(didn't see any) and from the lake you could see ALL the fireworks,and hear some music,and it was amazing, besides the German couple sleeping in an old wolkswagen next to me very very nice and we had a good talk.I arrived quite early at Martigues (about 4, earlier than I expected with that God darn wind) I stopped at carrefour, bought food and water,sat down, called my parents, and after finishing the call I got sentimental and few years dropped, and I was so tired and still had no place to sleep, so a pair of men came up to me to ask if I am okay,one spoke English ,and the other not a single word(french pure blood) and they told me if I want,I can come to the port, there are showers and I can rest there, and even charge my phone.So I went along and followed them there.Indeed I charged my phone and showered,had a 30min nap, and they asked me where am I planning to sleep, so I said I don't know, any safe 2m2 of ground is perfect for me.So a new guy came and offered me to sleep in his boat, so I agreed, but it was very windy in it, and I wouldn't close an eye...so before 10, they told me it's okay, o can sleep in other part, or in one of their cars(and by this point I got scared, because sleeping in some strange single mens car, after they invited me to a grill with them, they put some music,and complimented my looks, ha! Suspicious isn't it?!) But them they realized I am afraid, and they said if It's not okay, they will go away, and let me sleep in the woman's bathroom and give me the key and all, so I said it's okay,and trusted them with the car, which turned out to be okay, they didn't attempt anything at all, were very polite and I slept well.But you know, it's just that, if a woman feeds you,offers you shower, shelter,food and compliment,you don't expect her to harm you, do you? But with men...yeah, society ain't equal at all.my instinct turned out to be okay but I don't this I will risk like this again
