Bonjour! This week’s carte postale comes from Toulon, a city located on the French Riviera.
Top left: The Mourillon beaches are popular, family-friendly, and accessible. Many summer events, like the Patrouille de France airshows, are held here.
Top right: From the Port, visitors can take a ferry boat to explore the bay, spend the day in the Porquerolles (part of the Golden Islands), or take a cruise to Corsica, Balearic Islands, Sicily, and Sardinia.
Bottom photo: The Toulon red cable car is the only one of its kind on the Mediterranean coast. It takes visitors to the top of Mont Faron.
For more information:
Until the next Wednesday Postcard, à bientôt!
Toulon also has a gorgeous nineteenth century opera house — one of the largest opera houses in France outside of Paris. https://operasandcycling.com/bizets-carmen-in-toulon/
But Toulon is also the site of a major French naval base and — in earlier times — a notorious prison colony, as described by Victor Hugo in Les Misérables.

My pleasure. I also went to a beautiful modern theater in Toulon, and took an invigorating tour of the harbor.
