Toulon


Toulon
Toulon is the capital city in the department of Var and France’s biggest naval port in the Mediterranean. Toulon lies beautifully out onto a natural harbour with a backdrop of mountain slopes between Marseille and St-Tropez. Provacances offers holiday houses in the nearby beach resorts, La Seyne-sur-Mer, Sanary-sur-Mer and Carquieranne. The coastline of Toulon has fine sandy beaches with all sorts of water activities available.

Veranstaltungen in Toulon

  • Shopping
  • Walking- and hiking tours in the area - along the coast and in the hinter land.
  • Nice beaches.
  • Water sport
  • Tennis
  • Riding.
  • Climbing: Climbers from all over Europe come to this place to climb in les Calenques at Cassis. You can either start from places of easy access (by walking or driving) or you can start directly from the water. At several places the cliffs rise vertically up to 240 metres above the sea level. Climbers who start from the seaside can either sail in small boats or tourist boats - les navettes - from the harbour of Cassis.
  • Golf – There are lots of golf courses in the department of Var. Most of the courses can be found on the French golf union’s website. Unfortunately the website is in French. Seek under Guide de golfs and then under the region Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur: http://www.ffgolf.org/#

Sehenswürdigkeiten in Toulon

  • Musée d’Art de Toulon: Art museum, home of a permanent collection of traditional and modern Provencal paintings. The museum’s first floor houses different exhibits of works of international artists.
  • Mont Faron with its fortress, Tour Beaumont.
  • Musée du Vieux Toulon: Mainly concentrated on the young Napoleon and his efforts to defend Toulon. There are also old weapons as well as several historical sketches of Puget.
  • The old part of the city, La Cité.
  • Cathédrale Ste-Marie-Majeure: The city’s cathedral from the 11th century, renovated – and extended - in classical style in the 17th century. Home of several works of Puget and Jean Baptiste Van Loo (1684-1745) and a beautiful Baroque altar.
  • The big theatre and opera house.
  • Musée de la Marine: The very fine entrance to the museum has impressive statues of Mars and Bellona. You will find two enormous model galleons from the 18th century (similar ones were training ships in earlier days), a model of Barbarossa’s galley, several stems and figureheads as well as two wooden figures made by Pierre Puget.

Toulon does not have extraordinary attractions, but the old quarter, La Cité, or Basse Ville, as it is also called, has a labyrinth of narrow winding streets, covered passages, charming squares like Place Puget, Place Trois Dauphine and Camille Ledeau with pleasant cafés, restaurants and old fountains.

The old quarter also has lots of fine little shops and in the morning fish, vegetables and flowers are sold from stalls in Cours Lafayette.

At Place Victor Hugo one can find a beautiful theatre and opera house, and to the south a network of alleys lead to the harbour.

Unfortunately, the port area is completely without charm, due to the dirty buzzing Avenue de la République, which is parallel to the harbour-street. This area was destroyed during the Second World War and the houses, constructed after were made out of bad materials.

The greatest sight is to be found out of the city.

From the suburb Super Toulon, there is a cable car to the top of Mont Faron with its fortress, Tour Beaumont, transformed into a memorial hall for the city’s liberators from 1944. You can drive up there, but the greatest experience is without doubt to go with the cable car. The views are quite outstanding.
