Arrival Date

Bandol is west of Toulon and Sanary-sur-Mer and east of Marseille - hence one of the more westerly of the resorts on the French Riviera.

It is one of the smaller resorts along this stretch of coast, and attracts many french 'second-home' owners who pass the summer here.

The list of previous visitors is impressive, including Thomas Mann, Aldous Huxley, Katherine Mansfield, Marcel pagnol, and many others.

The highlight of Bandol is undoubtedly the section around the harbour - the port is quite large, housing up to 1600 craft.

The promenade around the harbour is an attractive palm-tree lined walk, backed by some lovely pastel painted houses. Around Bandol port there are also several bars and restaurants, perfect for people watching (and eating!).

Easy access to good beaches, separated by rocky coved sections of coastline, and the hills behind the town, make a very pleasant setting for the resort.

While at Bandol be sure not to miss the local wines. Produced from vines on the surrounding hills (between Toulon and La Ciotat), some of the best wines in France are produced in the region.
