Thalazur Bandol Ile Rousse*****

An inspiring odyssey

The 5-star hotel in sheltered Renécros Bay boasts a swimming pool and solarium with panoramic views of Aleppo pines, calanques, and the Mediterranean. Chef Martin Feragus’s gourmet restaurant, Les Oliviers, serves creative cuisine every evening. Beach brasserie La Goélette offers some of the finest regional products in an attractive wooded setting – locally caught fish, small-scale producers, lobster, and crayfish. Relaxation is at its zenith with mattresses and sun loungers lined up across this heavenly bay, a favourite with many a holidaymaker. Famous names include the Lumière brothers, Marcel Pagnol, his favourite actor Raimu, and Mistinguett, whose house stood on the very site where the hotel now stands. Just along the road, the spa and thalassotherapy promise to round off this idyllic holiday in style.
