Bandol is a good 50 km east of Marseille and 18 km west of Toulon. At the end of the nineteenth century this former Roman settlement of „Bendorium“ , then a sophisticated bathing resort, had guests such as Thomas Mann, Aldous Huxley and Marcel Pagnol due to its mild, Mediterranean climate. All along the promenade there are luxurious boutiques and lots of charming little restaurants where you can eat the freshly caught fried fish with a glass of fruity rosé or a velvety red wine that Bandol is so famous for. This little town has many attractions such as a yacht harbour, a casino, a Thalasso therapy centre, boat hire, a sailing school, a diving school and also a beautiful daily market in front of the old church, only a few steps away from the house. In the surrounding mountains it’s well worth visiting Le Beausset and La Cadiere, or hiking along the 'chemin des douaniers' on the remarkable coastal cliffs. Sandy and pebble beaches.
