Le Castellet

Marcel Pagnol shot La Femme du boulanger, starring Raimu, in this small feudal village on a cliff edge in 1938. Le Castellet lies north-west of Toulon among the vineyards of the Bandol appellation, while the Circuit Paul Ricard motor-racing track sits elsewhere in the commune. In the old centre, the castle now houses the town hall and Place de l'Ormeau looks out towards La Ciotat.
