Bandol from the station: Saint-Charles to the harbour
Bandol station is at the top of the town, about fifteen minutes’ walk from the harbour, uphill on the way back. For a waterfront stay or a wine estate in the hills, a private driver from Saint-Charles avoids the connection and the walk.
The route follows the A50 through the Marseille tunnels to the Bandol exit, tolls included. In summer the drive down to the harbour is slow in the late afternoon.
Can you drop me at a wine estate?
Yes. Give the estate name: many are on the roads to La Cadière and Le Castellet.
Bandol harbour and Bendor island
Bandol’s palm-lined harbour is the heart of the resort: a stroll along the quays, the Tuesday market and café terraces. Bendor island, opposite, has belonged to the Ricard family since the 1950s and is reached by a short shuttle boat. The casino and Rènecros beach complete the seaside offer.
The Bandol appellation, one of the great red wines of Provence based on Mourvèdre, covers the terraced slopes around the town; several estates welcome visitors for tastings by appointment.
Bandol by train or by car
The TER links Saint-Charles to Bandol, but the station is at the top of the town, far from the harbour. With luggage or for a rental near the sea, a private driver takes you to the door in under an hour. Sailors joining a boat often arrive on the train from Paris: give the pontoon and the driver leaves you at the entrance to the quays with your bags.
