Squeezed tightly between the mountains and the sea, the town of Toulon is the capital of France’s Var regiou, an area characterized by its mountainous landscape, fortified medieval villages, and its original Greek and Roman influences. It’s said that Toulon is located on the most beautiful and well protected natural harbor in Europe and has been, and continues to be, a center of French naval dominance.
We took the shuttle from the ship to Toulon, where we picked up a little train that brought us around the town. Enjoyed the market and seaport area where we had lunch in a French restaurant.
