on the abandoned beach

9h

Let's go for a day of discovery with the family. To start, slip into one of the boulangeries from the city for breakfast. Then direction the port to start our beautiful coastal path.

There, walk alongside the boats by walking on the right (when you are facing the port). You will surely pass thethe Tourist Office ; do not hesitate to come and say hello and pick up a path of the trail. VScontinue your route, go around the stadium, walk along the sea. You will then arrive at our largest sandy beach, that of Renecros.

There, install the beach towels and enjoy breakfast summer-like. A real moment of relaxation for parents and fun for children. Because in general, at this time of year, there are not many people on the sand, which leaves plenty of room for the little ones to have fun!

11 h

After this early morning, how about continue your journey towards the pebble coves ? Continue on the beach to reach the stairs at the end. Continue along the coast and overlooking the creeks. A walk that allows you to discover the other part of Bandol, the west side, the most natural of all.

12 h

You have arrived at the last beach in Bandol, that of Engravers. A pretty cove of pebbles, it has the advantage of being the furthest from the center and therefore the least popular. This beach will be your base for a sunny picnic!

So take out the towels and rest on this beach with the only sound of the surf of the waves on the pebbles.

shellfish and crustaceans

14 h

For this afternoon, we have two routes to offer.

If your family is made up of older children (teenagers), you can then continue your way on the coastal path up to the Calanque of Port d'Alon. This cove is a key stage of the trail. Pebble beach nestled between two cliffs, it is also and above all the path that connects it which is very beautiful ...

From the beach of Engraviers to the Calanque of Port d'Alon, it will take you an hour's walk. Time during which you will overlook the sea with magnificent landscapes: curved pines, crystal clear waters, cliffs flowing into the sea ... Once you arrive, you can take a new break before setting out again by the same path, in the opposite direction. It will then take you 2 hours of walking to Bandol to arrive in town at the stroke of 18 p.m.

If your family is made up of toddlers (less than 10 years old), we advise you to stop there for the coastal path and rather explore the seabed. To do this, go back and come back to the port of Bandol. Directionaquascope, this little yellow submarine located right next to theAtlantis, the big boat that takes you straight to the Calanques of Cassis and Marseille.

15 h

This submarine offers you an outing in the Bay of Bandol, lasting approximately 45 minutes. The opportunity for the little ones to see the fish that live along our coasts and to learn more about the marine flora and fauna thanks to the explanations of the skipper. A fun outing that is sure to please children!

16 h

Wouldn't it be snack time?

A wide choice is available to you: small tea Room cozy with very good pastries, fabulous Tropézienne pie or even a simple café on the terrace. But from experience, we prefer to warn you, generally, these are the bandolais glaciers the big winners in the hearts of the little ones! There too you will have the choice between classic ice cream, Italian style, sorbets or even new flavors ...

And because afternoon tea is also a good excuse to take a break, why not sit down on one of the benches littering the quay? You will be able to enjoy your ice cream with a beautiful view of the peaks and your children will have all the port to stretch their legs.

It's already over ?
