Bandol as a couple for a day in winter

Are you in Bandol for a day? Here are the essentials not to be missed for a top-notch duo getaway!

discover bandol, the real one

9 hours

Since you only have one day, it seems essential to let you discover Bandol, the truth. The one behind the postcards, the one who built our identity. And what better way to discover all this than our historical route ?

This, in addition to being an immersion in our history, also allows you to discover all the little secret streets of Bandol. You will be able to enjoy unsuspected viewpoints and take side roads that even some locals ignore.

This walk of about 2 hours, takes place mainly in the downtown and on the quay. But if you follow it to the letter, it will also lead you to the side of our coves, where scuba diving was born.

To guide you, 2 solutions:

• come and collect the guide booklet directly fromthe Tourist Office ;
• or download it by clicking here:

11 hours

After this enriching walk through Bandol’s history, it’s time to learn more about what makes the city internationally renowned, his wine. Go meet the team of the Bandol wine cellar. This wine house located just opposite the Gaming casino, 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 you will also and above all be able to get advice on which areas are open to visits. And that interests us for the rest of our day. So take careful note.

immersion in Bandol wines

14 hours

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

Arriving at the estate, learn more about the winegrower's profession and taste a wine fresh from the cellar (in moderation of course, a drink is enough, you get back on the road just after). Enjoy these moments, they are precious.

and to finish: sunset sea view

17 hours

To end this superb day in style, head to the Capelin beach. A little late to take a bath, you might say. Yes, but perfect for admiring a sunset. So sit on a bench or directly on the pebbles and enjoy the spectacle that nature offers us.
