They are to the Var coast what gondolas are to Venice. Come discover and share a moment on a bandolais pointu.
For the little story
The pointu is the traditional fishing boat here. Fisherman of yesteryear took care of their precious boat and spent many of their days there. We could also see them, sitting on a stool on the port of Bandol, in front of their boat, patching up their nets.
Today the little fishermen are becoming more and more rare and the pointed ones too. But fortunately, there are still very beautiful ones in the ports of the coast! They are even more beautiful in winter, when garlands adorn them with light.
