On March 25, 1746, the community of Bandol took the initiative to build a chapel in the commune at its own expense. Work began but was not completed until 1748 due to lack of credit. They were entrusted to a young mason Joseph Suquet. The central part of the current church of Bandol was created: the building measures 34m long, 9m wide, 12m high, the dome of the choir peaks at 16m. The church, after having been blessed on October 18, 1748 by Monsignor Henri de Belsunce, was erected as a rectory under the name and title of St François de Sales by order of June 5, 1751. The church “in its architectural form” is classified as a historic monument since the 23 August 1990.
