Toulon Ferry Port Information

" Toulon
Toulon's turbulent history and diverse architectural influences have lent the city centre its multiple faces:The historical quarter, with its little, ochre, yellow and pink houses, narrow, winding streets and famous Provençal food market, spans out around the ancient Cathedral. Heading West from Place d’Armes square to Porte d’Italie gate are two sets of narrow but straighter roads, corresponding to the city limits and said to date back to 1589, to the reign of Henry IV. This area also forms part of the old town, which is often referred to as the ""basse ville"" or lower town.In sharp contrast, the light and airy ""haute ville"" or upper town, designed by the famous architect Haussmann, stretches North towards Mount Faron, and abounds with monuments built by order of Napoleon III, including the Opera House, railway station, Place de la Liberté and many bourgeois buildings.

During this era, the constricting city walls were demolished, a tramway was built to simplify city life, the new railway station made Toulon readily accessible, and the shows at the local casino began to attract large crowds. The people of Toulon still differentiate the ""upper"" and ""lower"" towns forming the city centre, and visitors will find both areas well worth a visit.

Brimming with delicious colours and scents, and buzzing with the verve of the South, our local food markets are one of Provence's most charming attractions. Toulon's Provençal Market, held every morning except Mondays on Cours Lafayette, is undoubtedly Provence's largest and most widely acclaimed. A number of smaller but equally typical markets are held outside the centre itself in the Pont-du-Las quarter (place Martin Bidouré) and Mourillon quarter (Place Emile Claude and Place Monseigneur Deydier), respectively to the West and East of the city centre.

The famous Provençal actor Raimu - the hero of Pagnol's famous ""Trilogy"" - was born in Toulon and is widely honoured by the city. Three monuments are dedicated to this inimitable artist: a bust on Place des Trois Dauphins square, a fresco and statue on Place du Théâtre square, and a sculpture of Pagnol's famous Card Game on Place Raimu square, where visitors can pose for a souvenir photo in one of the free chairs opposite cheating Cesar and Panisse!
