BANDOL: This property dating originally from 1789 has been renovated to provide 4 or 5 bedrooms, a large living-dining room of 52 m2 with access to the south-facing veranda, terrace and pool area with its sea view. Also on the ground floor are a shower room and separate WC. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and another bathroom with separate WC.
The well-kept gardens of 1033 m2 include a garage.
Located in a very sought after residential quarter of Bandol, approximately 10 minutes walk from the town centre.
Bandol, whose name comes from Bendorium, was occupied by the Romans when their empire extended throughout Provence. The territory of Bandol, including the Islands of Bendor and Rousse, was then donated by Henry IV to Antoine de Boyer, the First Lord of Bandol who built his castle with a fort situated on the "éperon de la butte" (currently Residence du Chateau).
Overlooking its superb and sun-drenched bay, nestling between the richly scented Mediterranean hillsides, Bandol is one of the largest and oldest sea resorts on the French Riviera. In the 19th century with the new coastal railway, the first sun-seekers arrived. Classified as a Seaside Resort on 3 July 1923, the town was the St Tropez of the French Mediterranean before St Tropez existed. Famous tourists included Thomas Mann, Katherine Mansfield, Aldous Huxley, the Lumiere brothers and Marcel Pagnol. The French stars Mistinguett, Raimu, Fernandel and Henri Salvador confirmed the town's fashionable reputation.
There are a number of sandy beaches around the town Lido beach to the east, Casino beach to the south and Rènecros beach, curving its way around a delightful cove. There are also a number of "calanques" or rocky inlets - they don’t just exist around Cassis!
The famous vineyards of Bandol stretch between the coast and the pine-covered hills behind on terraces. Powerful and refreshing reds, fruity and distinguished rosés, vigorous, fine and spicy whites are all produced from around 50 vineyards in the Bandol wine region, which was among the first regions to obtain the coveted quality label A.O.C. (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) in 1941.
Bandol offers excellent conditions for yachts as its deep waters allow access to boats with large draft. In the 18th century, the Port of Bandol provided a natural shelter, protected by a 30 foot-high breakwater. Today, the port welcomes over 1600 boats of all tonnages, large yachts, trawlers, tuna boats and pleasure boats of all types. With its 160 places, it is the 9th largest port in France today based on capacity. The quay can accommodate boats from 20 to 40 metres in modern moorings with electrical supply. A section of the quay is reserved for traditional boats including the local "pointus". The port is active all year round with its fuel depot open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and a carenage zone which can accommodate boats up to 30 tonnes. For the last 15 years, Bandol has also hosted the "Salon du Nautisme de Bandol" which after Marseilles and Cannes is the most important boat exhibition, on land and afloat, of the region.
Just off-shore is the Ile de Bendor owned by Paul Ricard of beverages and motor-racing fame. A 7-minute ferry ride allows exploration of this tourist centre.

Location in France

The prosperous Var department is located in the most extreme south-easterly point in France and has an unsurpassable climate, except in early spring when the heavy showers arrive.
Toulon is the departmental capital of the Var with a population of over 160,000. It has the biggest harbour in mainland Europe, and France's Mediterranean navy fleet use the city as its base. Toulon is a historic centre in many ways, and its attractive old streets are host to many ancient buildings and hidden historic corners. The town also has a lively cultural scene, the highlight of which is the fantastic local opera company. The hills that look over the town and onto the sea have a number of great houses, villas and apartments.
The city of Toulon was damaged severely during the Second World War giving the centre a very different atmosphere to its neighbours on the coastline.
To the east of the Var you'll find the town of Hyeres, which is a great blend of both Provence and Cote d'Azur culture. There are few other places that offer exotic palm trees on a sun-soaked coast together with a medieval old town and other historical interests - imagine spending your holidays here!
The very famous St-Tropez is a stunning town architecturally and is celebrated for its glamorous lifestyle. It has a population of just 6000 in the low season, but as the temperature increases for the summer months the population explodes!
Further up the coastline and you'll come across the tourist resorts of Frejus and St-Raphael with their stretching sandy beaches and Roman remains. Not to be missed is Port-Grimaud. Built along a network of canals, the city bears a striking resemblance to the Italian city of Venice. The city is very attractive, although the top prize goes to Bargeme, which is widely acknowledged as one of the prettiest villages in the whole of France.
Both EasyJet and GB Airways fly to Toulon from Gatwick. If you'd rather avoid flying, however, you could take a Rail Europe service from London Waterloo all the way to Toulon.
Property prices in the Var remain high thanks to the popularity of the region and the proximity to the Mediterrannean coast. However, for investors, they have the advantage of a strong rental market to make a return on your investment. As expected, properties get slightly cheaper the further inland you delve.
