Discover Toulon

Set between the shores of the Rade and the mountains, Toulon enjoys a warm, sunny climate. Once an imperial purple dye works in ancient times, Toulon has since diversified and become one of the world’s leading naval bases.

Outside the military context, the city of Var is also an important place for artistic expression. On Boulevard Strasbourg, you’ll find France’s largest Italian-style opera house, numerous museums, two renowned concert halls (Palais Neptune and Zénith-Oméga) and a “national stage”: Théâtre Liberté.

Toulon is not just about art, it’s also about sport, and rugby in particular. Rugby Club Toulonnais is a leading club in the French top flight. It’s well worth attending a match involving the club and its many international stars, at the historic Félix Mayol stadium.

With its many historic sites, it would be a shame not to visit the lower town and its medieval quarter. This pedestrian area is home to numerous shops and the Provencal market, where you can enjoy a variety of local pastries such as chichi frégi and chanteclair. Finally, to round off your stay, take a detour to the heights of Mont Faron, where you’ll be able to take in the sumptuous view of the city of Toulon.

Historic districts such as Porte d’Italie, with their old buildings and narrow streets, bear witness to the city’s maritime past. A stroll through this historic center plunges you into the heart of Toulon’s history, combining ancient charm with modern dynamism.
