Bendor Island
The island was bought in 1950 by Paul Ricard. The island has a hotel, a few villas, five restaurants, an artists village, boutiques and an art gallery, tennis courts, water sports facilities and a diving club. Two museums are open on the island in season: the Universal Exposition of Wines and Spirits and a Museum of Ricard Advertising Objects.
A so-called bistronomique restaurant. Good food though with a modern twist. There is also another couple of nice-looking restaurants on the same street.
