This beautiful city, which is the capital of the Var department, is around an hour’s drive in a camper rental from the port city of Marseille and within about two and a half hours of the architecturally astounding city of Montpellier.

Toulon has long been an integral player in a myriad of different industries, such as wine, fishing, naval construction, maps, and electronic equipment. It’s even involved in the manufacturing of aeronautical equipment, which is entirely relevant, given that this city is also home to the French Mediterranean Fleet.

The Mediterranean climate, with dry summers, brilliant sunshine, and mild winters, makes Toulon a desirable holiday destination, but so too does its natural attractions. The Jardin d'acclimatation du Mourillon botanical gardens bring tens of thousands of visitors regularly, as does the Zoo Fauverie Du Mont Faron – a specialist large cat animal park. Mount Faron also dominates the city, with mountainous terrain on one side and the Mediterranean Sea on the other.

This beautiful city is a year-round attraction and is steeped in natural beauty and historical attractions to pique your curiosity. Consider a camper rental in Toulon, France, and begin your trip of a lifetime.
