In general, the month of September is often synonymous with the start of the school year. Back to school, back to work… But if we tell you that in fact September is the best month of the year, do you believe us?
Shared feeling
We admit, we are a little divided while writing these lines. Should we really tell you our biggest secret? Share with you this tip that will only make your stay more beautiful? Well, if it’s for you, we want to tell you. But keep it to yourself !
The month of September is undoubtedly the best time to visit Bandol. That's it, it's said. You can ask anyone from Bandol, they will tell you. Or, he will first tell you that it is July or even August. If he tells you that, it's because he will have figured out that you are a vacationer and that he wants his September peace. But the reality is what it is, the month of September in Bandol is fabulous.
O dear beloved month of September
Out with the crushing summer heat that tires you out the first time you step outside. Out with the scorching sun which forces you to take 4L of water with you to do the coastal path. Exclude the infamous marcel tan lines (let's just say it) obtained in less than five minutes of walking. And hello the little fresh air that feels good. Hello everyone milder temperatures arriving, turning this gloomy back-to-school season into Indian summer. Hello, motivation found for explore the alleys of downtown et hiking routes around.
So be careful, who says milder temperatures does not necessarily say goodbye to the beach, quite the contrary. The temperatures of the water and the air are trying to come together to make our swimming session even more enjoyable. Even if sunscreen is always essential, you can spend a morning beach without being knocked out by the dodger.
Pleasant morning and/or beach day therefore, but also so much calmer than in the middle of summer ! Because, who says August crowd gone, says:
- More spaces free on the beaches.
- A water that finally finds its clarity.
- Less noise and therefore easier disconnection.
And then speaking of the hubbub. Although we love our little ones, we have to admit, a beach without a cry, with the only background noise being the surf of the waves on the pebbles, is still the best.
It's also the harvest season, a key step for our region. It is during this period that the vintages that you will taste in a few years come into play. This is also why September is the most important month for wine growers.
And level of activities?
Most nautical and summer leisure service providers continue their activity at least until September 15. Boating, discovery of the islands, rental of nautical equipment will therefore still be at your disposal during your stay. Better obviously since there are fewer people and therefore less need to book each outing well in advance.
In addition, thecountryside also play the game. The villages are calmer, the world less present, more accessible points of view and even more spectacular photos with a nature that begins to change color. The pretty green vines put on their mid-season outfit and become more orange. Just like the leaves of the plane trees which begin their descent to the ground.
September in Bandol = paradise
In summary, September is the best month of the year for a peaceful holiday in Bandol. The month when Bandol will reveal all its assets and where you will feel most in paradise. Say goodbye to the gray skies of the cities and the low morale of the start of the school year and hello to the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean and to well-being.
