Toulon in the heart of the Var
500 meters from the port
The city of TOULON it’s located around one of the most beautiful harbours in Europe. History and architectural patterns have shaped a city with multiple identities. The “High City” of Toulon is a district with clear and airy Haussmann monuments, dating from Napoleon III, while the “Lower Town”, is an ancient medieval quarter, enlarged over the centuries… today in full mutation…
Throughout its narrow streets with ochre or pink facades, its pedestrian centre has the air of a village with its boutiques, its colourful showcases, its art galleries, its small province restaurants…
Within the Neptune Centre, erected in the heart of the city, the convention participants will enjoy a fast pedestrian access to the hotels, the shops and the harbour serving the Golden Islands (Porquerolles, Port Cros and the island of Levant)…
A little farther, the ferries for Corsica and the cruise ships await for departure…
Geographic Location
300 days of sunshine a year, good service, with a quality hotel offering, our region has become one of the major tourist destinations.
True regional crossroads, alternative connection to 13 (Bouches du Rhône) and 06 (Alpes Maritimes), in the heart of Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur. At walking distance of: hotels, the harbour, SNCF station, and shuttles to the airports…
