2. Le Pont De La Seyne

   

   Landmark, Bridge

   This bridge is practically La Seyne Sur Mer’s main landmark. Built in the early 19th century to let the railway in to the local docks (otherwise the railway would have had to go through the city centre), the bridge has not been used since 1986. It was lifted up, and has since then pointed to the sky. Someone saw this 40 metre high edifice and thought – “What an excellent vanta...Read more

4. Fort Balaguier

   4.4 (127 Votes)
   

   Landmark, Fort

   The tower cannon fort was built to complement the Royal Tour’s defence of Toulon Harbour (since the harbour entrance was 1390 metres wide, and the maximum range of artillery was only 1000 metres). The walls of the fort are about 4 metres thick… and the real deadly intent of its size and location hits when you’re actually standing next to the cannons on top, staring out over t...Read more

   Church, Religious Site

   Once a modest chapel built in 1603, once La Seyne Sur Mer separated from the town of Six Fours, and saw a steady increase in population, the chapel was remodelled into this magnificent church. Today, the hightlights of the church are as follows: The rose window The great marble altar Statues of Saint Peter and Saint Paul A great organ from 1892 The four bells The ornately decorate Romanesque d...Read more

6. Battery Depeyras

   

   Museum

   Soaring 196 metres over the harbour of Toulon, this battery of guns is one of the only ones of its kind in perfect condition. Built in 1879, it has an incredible range, and was vital to the defence of the harbour. The fort has a small museum that explains its history. However, it is only ever open generally to the public in the third weekend of September, on the occasion of European Days. Other...Read more

   Amusement Park, Park, Walking Area, Concert

   This simple park, 7.5 heactares in area, located on the isthmus between La Seyne-sur-Mer and Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, is another spot where the locals come to unwind. Botanists can have some fun looking into the trees here – most of them are native. For kids, there’s a small amusement park. In the summer, the park hosts night markets and many concerts are held. Pack a picnic and come...Read more

8. Corniche De Tamaris

   

   Beach, Garden, Walking Area, Architecture

   The Tamaris ledge is one of the nicest places in the city. On one side is the beautiful Lazaret Bay, and on the other a series of wonderful examples of Moorish architecture. This long walk, often the best way to get from Fort Balaguer to Sablettes Beach, is full of pretty trees and gardens. The locals say it’s a blessing that this little slice of paradise has not been commercialised by to...Read more

9. The Provencal Street Market In The City Centre

   

   Street Market, Shopping Center

   Fishermen and their wares, every day but Monday, selling their fish till a little into the afternoon. It’s definitely one of the most memorable things you’ll find to do in this city. Don’t be shy. Buy something. Bargain. Get into the spirit of things.
