Discover a charming Mediterranean city where beautiful beaches, historic streets and authentic French coastal life come together.

If you are dreaming of a holiday on the French Mediterranean coast, Toulon deserves a place on your travel list. Located between Marseille and Saint-Tropez, this welcoming port city offers beautiful beaches, fascinating history and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it a wonderful destination for a coastal getaway.

One of the things I particularly like about Toulon is that you can enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle without spending your entire holiday in the busiest resort towns of the French Riviera.

You can explore colourful streets, enjoy fresh seafood beside the harbour and spend the afternoon relaxing on a beautiful beach.

Discover the Historic City Centre

Toulon’s old town is filled with narrow streets, traditional markets, attractive squares and charming cafés.

The Cours Lafayette market is a wonderful place to experience everyday life in southern France. Browse the stalls, discover local produce and enjoy the lively atmosphere.

The nearby harbour is another pleasant place for a walk, with restaurants, cafés and views across the waterfront.

Enjoy the Mediterranean Beaches

Toulon offers several beautiful beaches within easy reach of the city centre.

The Mourillon beaches are particularly popular, with sandy shores, waterfront restaurants and opportunities for swimming.

They are ideal for families, couples and anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing day beside the Mediterranean Sea.

Discover Mont Faron

For spectacular views over Toulon and the surrounding coastline, visit Mont Faron.

The mountain rises above the city and offers beautiful panoramic views of the harbour, Mediterranean Sea and surrounding landscape.

When Should You Visit?

Summer is ideal for swimming and beach holidays, although it is also the busiest season.

Spring and early autumn are particularly pleasant for sightseeing, coastal walks and outdoor dining.

Whether you are planning a weekend escape or a longer holiday in Provence, Toulon offers an enjoyable combination of French culture, beautiful scenery and Mediterranean relaxation.
