The beauty of the French marine port of Toulon is best seen when approaching by sea: the coast has deep bays, golden sandy beaches and picturesque little fishing vilages. The Quai de Stalingrad borders the old inner harbour, with houses newly built after 1945. The entranceway of the old town hall, supported by the famous titan figures by the sculptor Puget (mid-17th century) was integrated into the facade of the Maritime Museum, behind which lies the old town with its pretty little streets. Other important museums are the Musée de Toulon, the Musée d'Art, the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle and the Musée du Vieux Toulon. The most remarkable buildings include the romanesque church Sainte Marie Majeure, Saint Louis' church and the large military hospital. The Cours La Fayette, where the fruit and vegetable market is held in the mornings, is always bustling with life.

Sète - a hill, a harbour, four canals and the longest beach in the Languedoc. Sète has the largest fishing harbour on the Mediterranean coast. When the fishing boats drop anchor and hand over their catch it is a fascinating sight, as well as the perfect opportunity to try fresh fish or even oysters. From Mont St. Clair you can enjoy a wonderful view of the harbour, the town and the surrounding area. The canals have earned the town the nick-name of "French Venice".
