The villages, vineyards and markets

La Cadière d'Azur: is a typical Provençal perched village. The main square, with century-old plane trees, is perfect for coffee terraces but also for the Provencal market on Thursday morning. There are also two bakeries, a butcher’s shop, cafes, a crêperie, breweries and restaurants. Its panoramic view at the stadium allows you to discover, under an azure-blue sky, the bay of St-Cyr-La Ciotat. La Cadière d'Azur is also at the heart of the AOC Bandol vineyards with its 350 producers. We recommend the Pey-Neuf domaine for their delicious rosés. 

Bandol: it is a paradise for shopping, dining and entertainment, with shops, ice-cream parlours, cafes, bars and restaurants along the quay. The Provencal market takes place every morning at the church square.

Sanary-sur-Mer market: it takes place all year round and every day from 8am to 1pm. The market of Sanary-sur-Mer won the contest of the «most beautiful market in France»! Address: the harbour, seaside. In addition to the Provencal sun, there are also products from the Var.

The village Le Castellet: located opposite of La Cadière d'Azur, the medieval village Le Castellet (pedestrians only) welcomes you with Provencal shops and restaurants. Every year, the Paul Ricard Circuit hosts the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The town of Cassis: It is a Mediterranean fishing harbour. Overlooked by a castle, the city is renowned for its calanques with steep limestone cliffs. Pastel-coloured buildings, cafes and restaurants. Local vineyards produce white wine from Cassis. Frédéric Mistral said «Who has seen Paris, but has not seen Cassis, can say: I have seen nothing».
