Toulon<\/a>‘s bay and port is unparalleled: large, deep and almost completely closed natural port. The history of Toulon is intertwined with countless wars and royal ships. Throughout the ages, countless players sought to lay siege and take her.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut as Toulon has proven over the years – conquering Toulon is one thing, but holding her is another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will start the tour at the old port. Gazing at French navy destroyers and warships, we will walk along the pier full of yachts and recount tales of war while inspecting spectacular sculptures. Provence is not just lavender and ros\u00e9 wine. Its inseparable maritime history has shaped it over centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will continue to the Maritime Museum and the Navy Base. Following, We cut to the old city and visit sites that should not be missed. Finally, we connect to the Provencal market that takes place every day and enjoy discovering a real local market – by the people and for the people. At the end we will taste a special pastry that can only be found in Toulon before we head back to the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guided visit is also perfect for cruise ship passengers. I can meet you at the terminal or as you get off your tender boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
