Toulon has been the great bastion of the French navy since 1494, when Charles VIII chose its superb harbor as the site for a naval shipyard. Today, Toulon is homeport for the French navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier “Charles de Gaulle.” The city is also the capital of the Var and provides an excellent gateway to the riches of Provence and the Cote d’Azur. To the north and west are medieval Provencal hilltop villages and superb vineyards. To the east lie the fabled coves and beaches of the Cote d’Azur, the setting for the legendary resort of St. Tropez. And everywhere there is the miraculous fusion of sky and sea that forms the essence of Southern France.
Toulon’s Upper Town bears more than a strong resemblance to Paris – in the 1840s, the prefect of the Var was that same Baron Haussmann who gave the City of Light its elegant boulevards and architecture. Haussmann first tried his hand at urban renewal here in Toulon.
自1494年以来，土伦一直是法国海军的重要堡垒，当时查理八世选择了其优越的港口作为海军造船厂的所在地。 今天，土伦是法国海军核动力航母“戴高乐”的母舰。 这座城市也是Var的首府，是普罗旺斯和Cote d’Azur丰富的绝佳门户。 北部和西部是中世纪的普罗旺斯山顶村庄和一流的葡萄园。 东边是Cote d’Azur的传说中的小海湾和海滩，是圣特罗佩传奇度假胜地的所在地。 在任何地方都有神奇的天空和海洋的融合，形成了法国南部的精髓。
土伦的上城区与巴黎有着非常相似之处 – 在19世纪40年代，Var的知府就是同样的Baron Haussmann，他为光之城提供了优雅的林荫大道和建筑。 奥斯曼首先尝试在土伦进行城市更新。
Marseille, a port city in southern France, has been a crossroads of immigration and trade since its founding by the Greeks circa 600 B.C. At its heart is the Vieux-Port (Old Port), where fishmongers sell their catch along the boat-lined quay. Basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde is a Romanesque-Byzantine church. Modern landmarks include Le Corbusier’s influential Cité Radieuse complex and Zaha Hadid’s CMA CGM Tower.
作为法国第二大城市，马赛，由于拥有法国最大的海港，所以成为法国对外贸易最大门户。尽管马赛城市的安全系数并不是很高，但是每年仍然有大量的游客来到这个海港城市，到了每年的八月份北方的法国人也会南下度过他们的假期。
马赛老港附近的摩天轮
其实马赛并没有太多的游览景点，大多数法国人来到这边也是一半冲着海鲜美食，一半是为了开船出海的，这里你可以在老港这边看到很多私人游艇。
当然还有很多游客来到这边坐船去伊夫岛，此岛因小说《基督山伯爵》中曾提及主人公“基督山伯爵”被关押在此十几年而出名。tips，不是每天都有船去这个小岛，要考虑当天的天气状况，有时候稍微风大一点船就会被取消。好在还有另外一个岛叫做island of Frioul 供游客选择，让游客不虚此行
