Perched above a valley, La Cadière is a pretty Provençal village with old narrow streets. It is a thriving community with a "Comité des Fêtes" which organises various interesting events throughout the year. |

|
| La Cadière is at the centre of the Bandol wine appellation and visitors are always welcome to taste and buy at the many local Domaines - 55 at the last count, hic! The renowned Provençal markets which move round from village to village each day are also not to be missed. | | ![Market Day in La-Cadière-d’Azur [click to enlarge]](http://www.moulin-a-huile.com/sites/letsites/clients/samats/photos/samats_034_.jpg "Market Day in La-Cadière-d’Azur [click to enlarge]") |

Although a little more touristy than La Cadière, it is just as pretty and has lovely views from the church square. There are also numerous little streets to wander through, with many stylish boutiques and tempting restaurants to discover. |
|
|
| On the coast, St-Cyr-sur-Mer is just a few minutes away and has a range of shops and supermarkets. For lunch, you could try one of the restaurants by the marina at Les Lecques. The real jewel of the coast, however, is Sanary with its palm-fringed harbour. Buy fish as it is landed, or just sit with your café crème and "people watch". | | ![Sanary [click to enlarge]](http://www.moulin-a-huile.com/sites/letsites/clients/samats/photos/samats_037_.jpg "Sanary [click to enlarge]") |
