Our story

One family, three generations, one terroir.

La Bastide Blanche was born from the encounter between the Bronzo family and a small corner of Provence, in the Bandol hinterland. To trace its history is to evoke the love of three generations of builders for this wild islet, this limestone terroir set against the Sainte-Baume massif.
