Old Town

The old town of Toulon, the historic centre located between the port, the Boulevard de Strasbourg and the Cours Lafayette, is a charming pedestrian area with narrow streets, tiny squares, manicured landscaping and many fountains. Toulon Cathedral is located here. The area is also home of the celebrated Provençal market, which takes place every morning on the Cours Lafayette and features local products. The Old Town of Toulon is known for its fountains, found in many of the small squares, each with a different character. The original system of fountains was built in the late seventeenth century; most were rebuilt in the eighteenth or early nineteenth century, and have recently been restored. The "trois dauphins" fountain dates back to 1782. There are many opportunities to enjoy the best of Toulon France gastronomy, boutique shopping, and terrace cafes in this part of town.
