Bandol solo on a weekend in autumn

Here is finally the weekend! After a week of work, how about two days of disconnection?

Day 1

9 h

For this first day, and because you only have two, it seems important to us to make you discover the real Bandol. So let's go for a stroll through the city, through its alleys and also and above all, its history... you will have probably guessed it, it is the historical route that we offer.

There are two ways to do this:

• Come visit us at theOffice for get the little booklet who will accompany you and above all will guide you throughout these 2 hours of stroll;
• Go paperless, being full digital and letting yourself be guided by the journey available by clicking here.

In any case, in preparation for your visit, all the information concerning the history of the city is available right here:

11 h

After this enriching stroll through the history of Bandol, it is time to learn more about what makes the city internationally renowned, his wine. So go and meet the people at the Bandol wine cellar. This wine house located just opposite the Casino de jeux, at the end of the quay, is the temple of our land.

There, you can of course buy a bottle of AOC Bandol wine as a souvenir, but also get advice on which areas are open to the visits. And that interests us for the rest of our day. So take good note.

12 h

Make a breaks déjeuner in one of the city's many artisans. That you are rather seated restaurant, take-out lunch or sandwich on the beach, discover all the Bandol offers by clicking here:

14 h

Based on the valuable advice gathered a few hours earlier at thewine bar, set off for the wine estate of your choice. Don't panic, they're all there less than 20 minutes by car from Bandol. Yes, because although the AOC name is that of Bandol, all the vines forming this beautiful grape variety are located outside the city.

But that's okay because those minutes of driving will be an opportunity for you toadmire the vineyards. In addition, in this autumn season, red suits them best. Magnificent colours which contrast with the blue of the sky and the dark green of the surrounding olive trees.

Once you arrive at the estate, learn more about the winegrower's profession, about this very special period of the grape harvest and taste a wine fresh from the cellar. (in moderation of course, a drink is enough, you get back on the road just after). Take advantage of these exchanges, they are precious.

17 h

It's time to return to Bandol for enjoy the sweetness of the evening. So take a tour of town before the shops close and choose your catering place of the evening. We'll meet up tomorrow.

day 2

Today we take you to the city's flagship hike, the one that will immerse you in nature: the coastal path. And that's good, because a page is dedicated to this day that will dazzle you. So pay attention, and click here:
