Two bus lines are making a comeback this summer in Bandol. Their name: Esti'Bus. Behind these words lie two routes that will connect the coast to the hinterland, coastal towns like Bandol, Sanary-sur-Mer, and Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, to the hilltop villages of La Cadière d'Azur, Le Castellet, and even Signes. We'll tell you all about it here!
Buses that connect the sea to the hills
For several years now, we have been welcoming thousands of holidaymakers to our tourist office reception area. And for several years now,a question keeps coming up : how to visit the villages in the hinterland ? Yes, because until now, without a car, it was not easy.
Indeed, if the ZOU! network allows everyone to easily navigate from one coastal town to another, the entry into the Provençal scrubland was more timid. Some timetables to reach Le Beausset. Very distant stops villages like the medieval town of Castellet, which was worth it after long minutes, even hours, of walking. And quite frankly the impossibility of joining by public transport Signes or Evenos.
Ladies and gentlemen summer vacationers, we have good news for you: all that is over!
Esti'Bus 2026 line maps and timetables
From 4th July to 30th August 2026, you will have the opportunity to get up in the Signoise countryside, have lunch by the sea and enjoy the night market in the neighboring town. All this, while moving Exclusively by bus. The best part: the stops have been designed to take you as close as possible to the tourist attractions in each village! When it comes to facilitating your stay, we couldn't do better.
To do this, two courses have been put in place:
- Esti'Bus 1 : Signes, Le Castellet, Le Beausset, Bandol and Sanary-sur-mer.
- Esti'Bus 2 : Evenos, Le Beausset, Le Castellet, La Cadière d'Azur, Saint-Cyr-sur-mer, Bandol and Sanary-sur-mer.
✅ Good to know: Detailed maps and timetables are available by simply clicking on the line that interests you. And for more information, head to the website South Sainte Baume Agglomeration.
Two shuttles therefore, but one and the same price: €1,30 per trip.
A complement to existing buses
This new summer network is of course added to existing lines. So, to get around easily within our beautiful town of Bandol, the Bandol Bus remains at your disposal. And the same goes for the ZOU! lines 880 and 885 which will continue to connect Bandol to La Ciotat and Toulon all summer long, passing through all the towns along the coast.
