The old town and attractive town of Bandol enjoys a permanent sunny climate and is famous for its wine. It is situated in the heart of Provence between Marseilles and Toulon.

Once through the entrance, turn immediately to starboard and berth stern-to on the Accueil pontoon. This is just beyond the fuel dock. Then report to the Capitainerie.

Good shelter but if busy (e.g. expecting regatta) you could be evicted regardless of weather.

The best facilities block is at the west end of the marina.
