Holiday rentals and lettings in Bandol

1. Local wines. The wine heritage of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, and in particular the Var, is incredibly rich. Some establishments around the commune offer an oenological initiation for small groups. Two other ways of understanding Bandol wines are popular. On the one hand, it is a visit to a domain in the company of an oenologist, and on the other hand, it is about getting closer to the Bandol Wine Library. This one presents on its website the many domains that cover the Var municipality. It also provides judicious tasting advice and informs Internet users of events related to oenology, such as the Bandol Wine Vintage Festival held in December.

2. The island of Bendor. This island belonging to the Ricard family extends over only 7 hectares. It is certainly small in size, but it has major advantages. Its attractiveness is illustrated by the many statues and works of art it owns. It is possible to contemplate them by taking a walk on the hiking trail that goes around Bendor. There are also several restaurants where everything is done to satisfy the most demanding palates, with a rigorous selection of seasonal products.

3. Diving. Take advantage of your stay in the South of France to discover the riches of underwater life. There are several diving sites in {Six-Fours-les-Plages and off Bandol that are accessible to both novices and experienced divers. This is the case, for example, of Île Rousse, where schools of barracudas, congresses, lobsters and morays are frequently observed. It is also the site of Sec d'Alon, in which capons, mostelles and moon fish coexist.

4. A sailing trip. The Var coast, punctuated by superb rocky coves and long stretches of sand, offers you paradisiacal environments. You can schedule a sea trip to get away from the hustle and bustle of some beaches and contemplate the coastline in an atypical way. Cruises are also organised at the beginning of the day or in the evening from Bandol, led by an experienced skipper. You have the opportunity to cross the most beautiful creeks and enjoy this type of unique experience by enjoying a delicious breakfast or aperitifs, depending on when you go out.

5. A walk on the port. The port offers more than 1,700 berths to boaters. It is for many locals the most lively meeting place and it hosts several markets throughout the year. The most popular is undoubtedly the seasonal craft market, held from June 15 to September 15. This nocturnal event allows both Var residents and tourists to buy local culinary specialities and various artistic creations.
