Coming from Marseille, one drives through Bandol on the way to Toulon or passes it on the ring road. In this case, you miss a seaside resort located on a pretty bay and very popular since the 19th century.
Sanary-sur-Mer has been an insider's tip for more than 100 years and has a somewhat turbulent history: After 1933, Rene Schickele brought his persecuted friends - Bertolt Brecht, Lion Feuchtwanger, the Mann brothers, Erwin Piscator, Ernst Toller, Franz Werfel and many others.
Some, the Feuchtwangers, Werfels, and Heinrich and Golo Mann managed an adventurous escape across the Pyrenees. The Manns' villa "La Tranquille", blown up in 1944 before the Allied landings, was rebuilt.

Today Bandol and Sanary-sur-Mer are still very popular seaside resorts. And just as good is the rosé of Bandol, one of the best tasting wines of the area for us.
