Le Castellet
A medieval hilltop village surrounded by vineyards, with its gates, narrow lanes and craft shops well preserved. It offers views over the Bandol wine region.
Le Castellet is built at the top of a hill. It retains its city walls, gates and a 12th-century castle, which now serves as the town hall. The stone lanes are lined with pottery, soap and art shops. It was once the filming location of the movie "The Baker's Wife." From a terrace at the edge of the village, you can see the entire Bandol vineyard. Cars are not allowed in the village, so park at a paid lot outside. It is often visited on the same day as the Bandol wineries.
