Bandol's Dolce Vita

Italy and the Var have a lot in common. A culture that combines Provencal and Mediterranean traditions, a conviviality that has been proven time and time again, and of course, the gentle way of life that is so typical of the southern regions and that the whole world dreams of. All this is undoubtedly due to our history. For let's not forget that, like all border regions, Provence Sud Sainte Baume has been a land of welcome for many Italians who have found here a part of their beloved boot.

And it's in this spirit of authenticity, sharing and, of course, celebration that every year the town of Bandol organizes the gourmet event " Bandol fait sa Dolce Vita ". It's a way of forging ever-stronger links with our neighbors, and immersing the town for a few days in the warm atmosphere of Italy!

Get ready to sing along " Sarà perché ti amo "while enjoying an arancini with a glass of Spritz. If you feel the irrepressible urge to travel to Italy, there's no need to take a plane: the wonders of ritual come to Bandol in May!
