Things to do in Toulon / Provence
Toulon cruises open the door to both the port city itself and the wider beauty of Provence. Set along a sweeping natural harbor on the Mediterranean, Toulon pairs walkable Old Town streets and lively markets with easy access to lavender fields, vineyard-covered hills and storybook villages across the region. In Toulon, you can browse the famed Cours Lafayette market, pause by centuries-old fountains and explore the galleries along Rue des Arts. Beyond the harbor, Provence unfolds with rosé vineyards, Camargue wetlands filled with flamingos and white horses and the landscapes that inspired artists like Vincent van Gogh. Add in local specialties like ratatouille, artisanal cheeses and golden honey, and your day ashore becomes a full-sensory taste of southern France.
