Toulon (Provence), France Luxury Cruises

A LONGTIME BEACON FOR ARTISTS - AND SOURCE OF EXCELLENT HERBS - BEAUTIFUL PROVENCE IS A MUST-SEE DURING YOUR MEDITERRANEAN VOYAGE.

Toulon is a picturesque city with a medieval core, an abundance of fountains, and a colourful daily market with a true Provençal character – meaning plenty of the prime ingredients of garlic, olive oil, and the sought after “herbes de Provence.” An expansive view of the town and handsome natural harbour can be seen from Mont Farron, reached by cable car. The south of France has long been a beacon for artists. Fans of Post-Impressionism might want to spend a day out in Aix in pursuit of Cézanne, at the Muset Garnet where his paintings are displayed, his workshop, and at the café he used to frequent with his friends.
