Bandol, 8,000 inhabitants, is one of the most popular seaside resorts on the French Riviera West. The city combines two major assets: a varied coastline with Renecros and Casino beaches, and an AOC Bandol vineyard internationally recognized for its mourvedre reds. The marina hosts 1,600 berths and serves as a starting point for Bendor Island, owned by Paul Ricard since 1958, accessible in 7 minutes by boat. The city also offers a casino, family beaches and seaside heritage from the late 19th century. 35 km from Toulon-Hyeres TLN airport and 50 km from Marseille-Provence MRS, Bandol is ideally located to combine seaside stay and wine tourism. Our VTC service transfers you from both airports in a Mercedes E-Class vehicle, with possible tasting circuits in AOC Bandol estates (Tempier, Pibarnon, Ott, Pradeaux).
Tourisme et oenotourisme Bandol
Bandol cumule station balnéaire et capitale viticole d'une des AOC les plus réputées de Provence. L'appellation Bandol, créée en 1941, couvre 1 600 hectares sur 8 communes (Bandol, La Cadière-d'Azur, Le Beausset, Le Castellet, Évenos, Ollioules, Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, Sanary-sur-Mer). Le cépage roi est le mourvèdre, qui doit représenter au moins 50% de l'assemblage des rouges. Les domaines emblématiques incluent Domaine Tempier (référence mondiale), Château de Pibarnon, Domaine Ott (Château Romassan), Château Pradeaux et Domaine de Terrebrune. Les rouges de Bandol nécessitent 18 mois minimum d'élevage en foudres et atteignent leur apogée après 10 à 30 ans de garde. La ville organise chaque automne la Fête des Vins de Bandol et la Mise en Mer du Millésime, événement durant lequel les bouteilles sont immergées en mer pour vieillir. Côté littoral, Bandol offre 13 km de côte, le port de plaisance de 1 600 anneaux, le casino historique, et l'accès à l'île de Bendor (Paul Ricard) avec son Cité de l'Eau-de-Vie et ses expositions artistiques.
