Bandol Brocante - Port Quay

A brocante on the sunny Bandol quays

Bandol is one of the most renowned resorts on the Var coast, between Marseille and Toulon. Its arc-shaped port, backed by the Saint-Cyr hill, provides one of the region's finest bargain-hunting settings. On Sunday 1 March 2026, from 9am to 5pm, the LIPEB association takes over the entire Quai du Port for a large open-air brocante and flea market. The day officially opens the Bandol chine season after the winter lull.

The unique port setting

The Quai du Port, lined with restaurants and cafés, is closed to traffic for the event. Sellers set up along the sailing boats and pointus with direct views over the bay. This bright, breezy setting is ideal for a quiet day of bargain hunting far from urban bustle. Palm trees, parasol pines and colourful façades lend a typically Mediterranean atmosphere.
