What are the must-see places?
The port of Sanary-sur-Mer is the beating heart of the town. The port of Sanary-sur-Mer is recognized as one of the most beautiful and typical ports on the entire French Mediterranean coast. It is home to around a hundred pointus, small traditional fishing boats that are emblematic of the Mediterranean Provence. You can admire these colorful boats, some of which are listed as Historic Monuments.
The 13th-century Romanesque tower offers an exceptional view of the bay. Free to visit, the climb is quite steep with steps and ladders, but the top of the tower offers a beautiful view of the port. It now houses the Frédéric Dumas Museum of Underwater Archaeology.
The Saint-Nazaire Church is decorated with frescoes by the renowned iconographer Jean-Baptiste Garrigou. This late 19th-century neo-Byzantine building charms visitors with its bright colors and majestic organ.
Don't miss the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Pitié, accessible via the Montée des Oratoires. Built in 1560 on the hill of Portissol, the chapel is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Completely restored in 2008, the chapel houses many votive offerings relating to the lives of seafarers.
