Breakfast on a sunny terrace in Bandol
10 hours
In order to immerse yourself in the village atmosphere of Bandol, nothing better than going to its center and discover the church Square. A place of life where grocers, waiters, producers cross paths every morning. Start by going to the little bakery room to choose your favorite pastries. Then settle in, you and your tribe, on the terrace of the café right next door. Enjoy the first rays of sunshine and soak up this sweetness of life. In the meantime, children will be able to play around this pretty place without problem.
Right in front of you is the daily market. A delicacy landmark where you will find local fruit and vegetable producers as well as artisan butchers, delicatessens, cheesemakers, fishmongers and even restaurateurs. Don't miss out on cade, this chickpea pancake, an institution from Var, Toulon to be more precise! Take the opportunity to buy some gastronomic treasures for an impromptu picnic.
Picnic on the sand at Renecros beach
12 hours

It's already time for the southern break. The top in this season is that precisely, it is not yet the season. Nature is just waking up, the sea has not yet been invaded by holidaymakers, the atmosphere is still gentle and peaceful. That is why we strongly advise you to take full advantage of this day to relax and give yourself a real break.

To do this, head towards the beach Renecros along the quay. Lay your towel on the sand, wherever you want. Take off your shoes to enjoy the fine sand. Take out your picnic and enjoy a moment of disconnection between sea and sun.
✅ The advantage of this idea : it will please everyone. Both parents looking for peace and relaxation, and children who love building sandcastles.
