Our story

One family, three generations, one terroir.

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