Bandol is charming port between Marseilles and Toulon, at the western end of the Cote d'Azur. It is still quite unknown by tourists and is more popular with French people. The town has a great range of restaurants and shops along the seafront and by the marina.
The Ile de Bendor is a 10 minute boat ride away and has diving / secluded beaches / hotels and more great restaurants !
There are medieval hill-top villages (Le Castellet) and good hill walking 20 minutes drive up into the hills.
For theatre, opera and cinemas (although there is a cinema in Bandol) Marseilles and Toulon are 30' and 15' away. Toulon has an excellent opera house and many theatres / cinemas. Both places are easily accessible by train from Bandol.
