Provence Sud Sainte Baume — A Preserved Destination

Provence Sud Sainte Baume is an invitation to experience a unique way of life in the south of France, nestled between the Var coastline and the Sainte Baume massif.

The market squares of hilltop villages, each with their own distinct character, burst with typically Provençal colours, where stalls overflow with fresh fruit and vegetables and the laughter of children fills the air.

The Mediterranean reveals itself gradually, until it takes over everything — through its beaches, calanques and coastal paths, drawing you into a world where imagination and a full awakening of the senses stretch far beyond the shoreline.

Home to three legendary classified tourist resorts (Bandol, Saint-Cyr-Sur-Mer and Sanary-sur-Mer), Provence Sud Sainte Baume captivates visitors from around the world.

It is also an agricultural land, home to one of France's oldest AOPs — the Bandol Wines — savoured year-round at the heart of local vineyards and in beautifully crafted food and wine pairings, masterfully orchestrated by our local restaurateurs.

And how could anyone resist the temptation of wandering on foot or by bike through our hills, breathing in the heady scents of the garrigue?

Between thyme and rosemary, this Destination is preserved — even undiscovered for some, a family haven for others, always admired and endlessly generous to those who take the time to stop and stay.

With a wide range of outdoor, sporting and cultural activities, as well as a vibrant evening programme, your stay here will be nothing short of intense — and Caliente.
