Toulon, France.
Arrival to berth Fournel.
Toulon is a city on the French Riviera and a large port on the Mediterranean coast, with a major naval base.
Located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region.
Toulon is an important centre for naval construction, fishing, wine making, and the manufacture of aeronautical equipment,
armaments, maps, paper, tobacco, printing, shoes, and electronic equipment.
A real highlight when visiting Toulon is a Musée Mémorial du Débarquemen, World War II fortress perched high above Toulon on Mont Faron,
commemorating the Allied landing of August 1944 and paying tribute to the liberation of Provence.
Toulon’s bustling, colorful Cours Lafayette Market is the largest outdoor market in the area and takes place from early morning until lunchtime
most days of the week (except for Monday and other exceptional days).
Food in France is very seasonal and so take note of the produce on offer here as it’s a sign of the months changing.
