Discover Toulon, an iconic port and a multi-faceted coastline
A must-see on the Var coast
The port of Toulon is one of the most famous in the Mediterranean. It is home to the main French naval base, a ferry terminal to Corsica, and a lively marina. The Toulon bay, surrounded by hills, is recognized as one of the most beautiful in Europe.
Boat trips allow you to explore the coast, admire the naval infrastructure, or simply enjoy the sea view. On land, the Mourillon beaches offer fine sand, clear water, and all the amenities for a relaxing day with family or friends.
For holidaymakers in campsites or mobile homes nearby, Toulon is an essential stopover, easily accessible by car or transport from campsites in the Var, such as those on the Giens peninsula.
Toulon, a lively old town and a rich heritage
A historic center to discover on foot
The historic center of Toulon is full of ancient narrow streets, shaded squares, and typical monuments. You’ll find an authentic atmosphere, especially on Cours Lafayette, where a Provençal market renowned for its local products, colors, and southern scents is held every morning.
The Sainte-Marie-de-la-Seds Cathedral, baroque fountains, private mansions, and small shops bear witness to the city’s prestigious past, while recent renovations have revitalized the pedestrian streets, facades, and shops. A walk through the old town is a must for any stay in Toulon.
The proximity between the city, hills, and beaches allows you to vary your activities: in just a few hours, you can go from a coffee on a terrace to a walk in the scrubland or a swim by the sea. A rare and precious experience for an all-round holiday.
Discover Mont Faron: nature and panoramic views from above
Between sky and sea, a unique viewpoint
Overlooking the city, Mont Faron rises to an altitude of 584 meters and is one of the most beautiful viewpoints over the bay and the city. Accessible by car, on foot, or via a panoramic cable car, it allows you to quickly escape the urban hustle and bustle to reconnect with nature.
The summit is home to several hiking trails, a memorial to the Allied landings in Provence, and numerous viewpoints. It is also a popular spot for picnics, sports outings, and unforgettable photos of the Mediterranean Sea.
