activities & leisure
If you don't like culture, gluttony, well-being and time travel, which still seems difficult to us, here are some ideas for activities to do in sunny weather as well as in wind, rain and snow.
- A game of Bowling : nothing better than a game with friends or family, to spend a warm afternoon. Bandol bowling, in addition to being user-friendly, also has other activities such as an arcade game room or a Laser blast. We tell you, one afternoon will not be enough!
- Try an Escape Game : Want to be locked in a room with your friends and have to solve puzzles to get out? Ok, say like that, it's scary, but in reality it's a great concept and a great idea of activity in case of rain. To learn more, click here, or leaves.
- Go to the cinema : Bandol unfortunately no longer has a cinema. You will have to go to Sanary-sur-Mer or to Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer to enjoy the latest releases. But it's still a good idea a few minutes by car from Bandol!
After all these ideas, it only remains for us to wish you a very good holiday in Bandol, whether at spring, riding a summer, To thefall or in winter.
