Toulon guide

Toulon is France’s second largest naval port, once a military harbour, and the former province of Provence. The town also has a lively cultural scene, including its well known local opera company. The city has its own airport, and Marseille and Nice are nearby, making it easily accessible. It is situated on the Azure coast and has a very warm climate.

The reputation of Toulon has changed from trashy to classy in recent years with the increase of lively and sophisticated bars and bistros, in particular along the quay. Blanc is one such example of such ultra modern chic in the form of minimalist dining; in contrast is the old fashioned brasserie Le Chantilly which opened in 1907, and has not changed significantly since - it is very popular with the locals.

Central Toulon has a historic centre with attractive old streets and ancient buildings. The Cathedral of St Marie de la Seds and the 18th century arsenal buildings – one of which houses the Musée de la Marine – also have interesting architecture. The Mount Faron dominates the city and can be seen from many areas of the town, it is part of the elaborate fortification system around Toulon. View our Toulon holiday rentals.

Toulon is a city known for its connection with water and the 18 fountains hidden around the city highlight this. Toulon is a stones throw away from some of France’s most glorious beaches where many water activities can be enjoyed. There are various boat trips around the bay and Port Militaire; it is even possible to take a trip to the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.

Property prices in Var are higher than the majority of French departments, though become lower the further in land you go. The prices sustain high prices because Var is such a popular holiday destination and therefore properties here, have the potential to yield significant rental income. Toulon also has the best of two worlds: coastal and city living.
