Valentine's Day is approaching and with it the mind-wracking to know how to surprise your partner. Because we love to please, here are some ideas that will save the day!
romantic activities
Let's start with the beginning : and if you reserved a few days of vacation with us ? A day, a long weekend or even a week just for the two of you. Whether you are a local or a tourist, Valentine's Day is above all there to remind us how important it is to take time for your favorite person. And what better place than a 100% disconnection destination for this? so here's our ideas for a stay to experience in winter in Bandol.
And if you need ideas to pick from, here is our list:
- Breakfast on the church square romantic. Sit on the terrace, let the sun light up your faces and enjoy the view of the daily market and the gentle sound of the fountain flowing just behind.
- A morning alone at the spa of the hotel Thalazur Ile Rousse 5*. Treatments, massages, swimming pool… treat yourself to two with a view Renecros, the most beautiful beach in Bandol.
- A romantic picnic organized from A to Z by The picnic moment. Enjoy a magical moment by the sea, surrounded by nature or on a spot that matters to you.
- A walk among the vineyards, in one of the areas of the AOC Bandol appellation. Here, two options are available to you: surprise your partner by organizing an independent excursion (after having collected valuable advice from Bandol Oenotheque) or, you let it carry by calling on a wine tourism specialist.
- A stop at one of the chocolate factories bandolaises: Ness, Creacao or even frangipane will captivate the heart and taste buds of your dear one.
- A sunset over the sea at Encanet point or of course Capelan beach with two glasses of champagne. The height of romance!
