LeCastellet
Race to the track or relax in the vineyards. The ultimate transfer for F1 fans and luxury travelers visiting the hinterland.
Le Castellet sits inland from the coast in the Var hinterland, home to the Circuit Paul Ricard — the F1 test track and MotoGP venue — and to the vineyards of Bandol. There is no practical road shortcut from Monaco or Nice into this pocket of Provence during a race weekend, when local roads clog with circuit traffic; the helicopter lands within minutes of the paddock. Outside race season it is an equally direct way to reach the perched medieval village of Le Castellet itself or a long lunch among the Bandol vines.
