Frequently Asked Questions
Large cruise ships generally berth at La Seyne-sur-Mer, on the western shore of the roadstead. So it is not in central Toulon: you have to cross.
By the 8M water bus, about a twenty-minute crossing. It is worth the trip in itself: limestone mountains in an amphitheatre, the Saint-Mandrier peninsula closing the horizon, and grey hulls everywhere from the French Navy, for which Toulon is the main base.
The Cours Lafayette market and the old town in the morning, then the Mont Faron cable car. Allow about fifteen minutes by city bus between the centre and the cable car. It is a full but achievable programme.
Every morning except Monday. It is one of the most generous Provençal markets on the coast, once sung about by Gilbert Bécaud: tomatoes, tapenade, goat cheeses and bunches of basil in a singsong hubbub.
By cable car, a six-minute ride facing the sea to the summit at 584 metres. Be aware: in strong wind the cable car stays closed. Check at the port information kiosk before setting out, so you do not make the trip for nothing.
The memorial to the Provence landings, recalling that in August 1944 Allied troops, including many French soldiers from Africa, retook the Var coast. Around it: terraces overlooking the whole roadstead, shaded paths and a mountain zoo.
Yes. From the quays of the old dock, launches offer a tour of the roadstead, the only way to get close to the vessels at their moorings. The National Navy Museum, at the Arsenal gate, also displays monumental models and figureheads.
Yes, at Le Mourillon east of the centre: landscaped sandy coves, gardens and restaurants at the water's edge, with a view of the 16th-century Tour Royale. Allow about thirty minutes on foot along the shore from the centre.
Yes. Le Mourillon offers lawns, playgrounds and swimming, the cable car entertains everyone, and the harbour launch tour goes down well with children. The Cours Lafayette market rounds out the morning without tiring anyone.
Yes, and it has long been unfairly overlooked. The Var city has regained its pride and says so. It offers a real town that lives year round, with its fleet, its market and its hills, where some Riviera calls amount to little more than a shop window.
