Toulon is the largest French military port

Toulon is a picturesque port city on the Mediterranean Sea, between Marseille (50 km) and Saint-Tropez. On Saint-Tropez, it is like a relaxed atmosphere of enjoying the hot sun of the Mediterranean, on Marseille - the boiling life of a port city with an inevitable abundance of immigrants for the region. But Toulon has its own unique features, including the city quarter of the time of Louis XIV and the interesting Naval Museum, good beaches and interesting festivals.

It is said to be the most beautiful port in Europe, one of the most important ports in France, where there is a large naval base, a first-class fortress, military and commercial ports. In ancient times, Greek and then Roman colonies settled here. Today it is the main station of the French Mediterranean Fleet, the seat of the Fifth Naval Prefecture and the First Customs.

Toulon twice defended the honor of the French fleet. In 1793, the young officer Napoleon Bonaparte began his dizzying ascent here, recapturing this port from the Anglo-Spanish flotilla.

The heroic French fleet in Toulon was intentionally sunk in 1942 to avoid falling into German hands. The Maritime Museum narrates the history of the city, closely associated with the sea and offers a rich collection of models of famous ships. The picturesque market, better than any museum, tells about the city.
