Overview

Built around a rade (a sheltered bay lined with quays), France’s second-largest naval port stands distinct from the glitter of the Côte d’Azur. It has a certain rough charm, and although it's getting progressively more attractive, most visitors just pass through. Above the town rises Mont Faron, accessible by téléphérique.
