Bandol, Coastal commune in Var department, France

The Mediterranean commune of Bandol extends along a protected bay with several beaches and a harbor filled with fishing boats and yachts.

Established in 1595 around a military fort, Bandol developed into a maritime settlement known for its strategic position on the Mediterranean coast.

The December Fete du Vin brings together local winemakers, residents, and visitors to celebrate the region's centuries-old wine production traditions.

Visitors can explore three sandy beaches, attend the daily market at Place de la Liberté, or sample wines at numerous local vineyards.

The Mourvèdre grape, which constitutes at least 50 percent of Bandol wines, grows in the silica and limestone soils of eight surrounding communes.
