Bandol
An elegant seaside resort and its renowned AOC vineyards
By car
Discover Bandol from Villa Hippocampe
This Var seaside resort has preserved its Belle Époque elegance, centred on its long promenade lined with shops and along the second-largest harbour in the Var.
The island of Bendor, Paul Ricard’s second private island, anchored just in front of the harbour, is now a hotspot for gastronomy and hospitality.
The name Bandol is known worldwide thanks to its remarkable AOC wine, even though the Bandol appellation extends over all the neighbouring towns: Sanary, Le Beausset, La Cadière d’Azur, Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer.
JACQUES' TIPS
Stroll from shop to shop along the promenade and enjoy an ice cream on a terrace by the harbour. Explore the hinterland by visiting the vineyards and stopping at a few wine estates.
