Toulon Tourism

To visit Toulon is to succumb to the charm of a city that grows between mountain and sea and whose ancient centre is woven through with interlacing lanes. You are sure to fall under the spell of the idyllic surroundings as well as its cultural and architectural richness.

As a natural site above all, the city of Toulon has grown and evolved between sea and mountains, and more specifically between the harbour and the Toulonnais mountains, the magnificent white limestone mountains swathed in pine forests. Mont Faron, the highest Toulonnais mountain, boasts an exceptional view of the city, where the sunset is an unmissable spectacle.
Beyond this, the city has an undeniable cultural wealth and legacy. Take time to make the most of the art museums and other themed museums. There is also the opera, and you can admire the Haussmann architecture or even take a stroll through the Mourillon district.
The city is easy to explore on foot. Walking the narrow streets and wandering along the shaded places is the best way to enjoy an old city that is as lively as it is colourful : the city will not fail to make you appreciate it.
With regard to tourist sites, do not miss the Musée National de la Marine and find out all about the military in Toulon harbour and the creation of its arsenal. Do not hesitate to roam through the heart of the Jardin du Las, whose area of 150 ,000m2 nurtures exotic plants from the Orient, Oceania and Americas. You can enjoy your journey through the region by visiting the Natural History Museums in Toulon and Var : the latter is exclusively devoted to the improvement of the regional biological and natural heritage.
