Air: Nearest international airports are Marseille and Nice.
Marseille is the closest, about an hour away. For Nice, Bandol is about
three or four hours away
and a very nice train or car ride, along the coast or
through the Massif des Maures.
Train: Bandol is on the main train line from Paris, Marseille and Nice.
Those traveling through the Paris airport should check on the TGV (high speed
train) connection which will bring you directly to
Toulon or Marseille.
There are a couple of trains a day from the Paris airport itself.
Car: There are generally two approaches to the general
Bandol
area . One, from Paris and the north, is via
Aix-en-Provence and then the Maraeille-Toulon
autoroute. The other from Nice and Italy is
via the Nice-Aix autoroute, getting off at Le
Luc for Toulon.
We will supply instructions on how to reach
Bandol and the house.
A car is generally necessary both to see the region
and to get around locally, since we are a mile or two
out of town. There is a Europcar rental office in Bandol
as well as various rental agencies in the airports and big
towns. For those flying and then picking up a car, it is
often advantageous to get the car as part of your flight
package.
