The historical route of Bandol
The small streets and narrow staircases of Bandol hold secrets. Anecdotes and significant facts that have crossed the ages and that have made our city what it is today. To lift the mystery on all these treasures and to (re)discover our Bandol differently, a historical route has been put in place.
Thus, the tourist office, in collaboration with the Bandol historian Jean-Marie Schneider, have together produced several short films. Each of them takes place at a place important to the city's history. In them, Mr. Schneider passionately recounts both important events and celebrity anecdotes.
A great walk in the past of our territory that you can do just as well from your sofa by browsing our dedicated page, than directly on site, thanks to the beacons dotted around the streets of the city center. To find out more, click here:
