Guided tours in Toulon
Toulon is the birthplace of our guide Frédéric Paul. She cares about him. To take a guided tour of Toulon is to discover a millennial but unknown history. Telo Martius, for the Romans was one of the 2 cities producing purple for the empire. Telo, the foot of the mountain or the goddess Ligure of the springs? We do not really know but both agree well… Martius, for the god of War, is also still topical for the largest naval military base in France and the largest military port in France.
But to summarise Toulon at its military port is very simplistic. Wedged between sea and mountain with Mont Faron culminating in 584m of altitude in backdrop it was called a time Port-la-Montagne. It is also a port of pleasure, of commerce and a city to the past and to the prestigious heritage. The small streets of its city centre too often ignored by the people passing by are full of treasures and cosy nooks.
The Mourillon district, the beaches or a climb to mount Faron are memories that mark you. From the top of the mountain, you will embrace the city and the most beautiful harbor in Europe. We also recommend the ascent by cable car.
