I'm going to Bandol for a week

mid June. Will be staying in a rental 25 mins walk west of the train station.

Can anyone tell me:

- is access to the beaches there good/easy

- any good local buses?

- what%26#39;s worth looking at in Bandol itself?

- local excursions worth doing?

I%26#39;ve been to Hyeres and Cassis and know and love them but would be interested in a direct bus to Aix, for example. Plus anywhere else anyone can think of.

So there%26#39;s nothing there at all? It%26#39;s an empty bit of garrigue?

Does this mean %26quot;bump%26quot;?

%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;- is access to the beaches there good/easy%26gt;%26gt;

The beaches are open to the public and easily accessed.

%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;any good local buses?%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

Here is the local bus map (I assume the buses are good):

%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;what%26#39;s worth looking at in Bandol itself?%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

I enjoy looking at what is found on the beach and imbibing adult beverages.

%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;local excursions worth doing?%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

Here are a few:

%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;but would be interested in a direct bus to Aix,%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

I believe the train might be a better bet from here to Aix:
