Discover Toulon
Toulon combines a working Mediterranean harbour with a compact Provençal centre, beaches and one of mainland France’s broadest ferry networks to Corsica and beyond.
Toulon’s harbour is the city’s defining feature. The waterfront opens onto a broad natural roadstead framed by hills, naval installations and marinas, while cafés and boat trips create a more relaxed visitor atmosphere around the central quays.
The old town lies immediately behind the port, where narrow streets, fountains and markets lead towards the cathedral and Cours Lafayette. The daily Provençal market is particularly useful for travellers wanting local fruit, cheeses, charcuterie and picnic supplies before a sailing.
Mont Faron rises dramatically behind the city. The cable car and road viewpoints give wide views over Toulon, the harbour and the Mediterranean coast, making it one of the best ways to understand the geography of the port before travelling by sea.
Toulon also has easy access to beaches and coastal neighbourhoods such as Mourillon. These areas add a resort feel to what is otherwise a busy naval and commercial city, and they work well for an extra night before or after a ferry crossing.
The wider Var coast offers attractive driving itineraries towards Hyères, Bandol, Sanary-sur-Mer and the Îles d’Hyères. Marseille and the rest of Provence are also within practical reach by road and rail, so Toulon can be used as part of a broader southern France itinerary.
For ferry travellers, Toulon is exceptionally convenient because the passenger port sits close to the city centre and major road approaches. Corsica Ferries operates an extensive network from here to several Corsican ports, Porto Torres in Sardinia and selected Balearic sailings.
