TOULON France | Full City Guide

[@alainbrochet5610]

Merci Monsieur pour cette magnifique balade ! Il faut dire que la beauté architecturale de nos villes en France nous la devons à la noblesse et en particulier à l'Empereur Napoleon III au XIX ème siècle. Merci aussi pour votre musique cool .

[@januslog]

Merci beaucoup 🙏🌺

Toulon is another jewel in South France. Thank you for showing the notable sights! Especially interesing for me is to see the Bastille Day Fireworks!

[@domitiusafer]

In reality, the term Bastille Day is incorrect because the French national holiday of July 14, does not celebrate the capture of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 by the Parisian people but on July 14, 1790 day of the feast of the federation where the people, elected officials and the royal family gathered on the field of Mars (present place of the Eiffel Tower which explains its construction at this site in 1889 for the "universal exhibition celebrating the centenary of the French Revolution) attended a mass in the sky celebrated by Bishop Talleyrand as a sign of national reconciliation. Indeed, the French National Assembly during the Third Republic in 1879, after the Republicans had just won a majority of the seats in parliament resulting in the resignation of the President of the Republic Mac Mahon royalist in favor of the restoration of the Monarchy, decreed as the French national anthem La Marseillaise and the day of July 14, 1790, the day of the feast of the Federation as the day of the French national holiday, because there had been no French deaths, unlike the day of July 14, 1789, when the Bastille was take.A little amusing anecdote, by the way, the Russian Tsar Alexander III, who had come to visit republican France to seal a military alliance with Franch and Russian, went to the bay of Toulon where for the first time a squadron of the Russian navy was anchored and listened to the Marseillaise, which was forbidden in Russia as revolutionary and seditious song. Moreover it is under the notes of Marseilles that Lenin will arrive by train in 1917 in Saint Petersburg after the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II.

Thank you for watching again. It’s a really nice town and the Bastille Day celebrations were the icing on the cake 👍😊

Wonderful video! I'm wondering where you're traveling now! I'm looking into traveling to France very soon and was hoping if you have any tips you could share with us about best places to stay. Hoping to spend my time there anchoring in one spot and traveling to and from there so I can see more of southern France. I will practice my French since I know it will come in useful. I've been to Paris and Normandy, so I want to try something new. Thanks for sharing with us from all over the world. - Daniel😉

[@januslog]

Hi Daniel It’s a bit of a budget question. A good place to stay longer and do some day trips from is Nice but it’s not cheap. Neither are some of the smaller but posh coastal towns. Toulon is a bit more budget friendly as it’s considered less of a tourist destination You may also want to consider a road trip from Nice to Marseille and possibly adding some of the amazing towns in the Provence Check out my other videos in France for more tips and please stay tuned for my current series on the Balkans and Southeast Europe👍😊

[@ronkunk144]

Looks like a great city to visit and you can't go wrong with French cooking. I also noticed the Amercian Embassy there (McDonalds)

[@januslog]

It’s a lovely city and somewhat underrated. Many tourists head to the resort towns while Toulon has so much to offer. Haha, love US embassy burgers 🍔😅

[@GirlGoingGlobal]

Ahh love Toulon! You've captured so many amazing sights - thanks for sharing :).

[@januslog]

Thank you 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@basementstudio7574]

Thank you!!

[@arnochef1]

❤love Toulon use to live there for 3 and 1/2 years when I was in the French Navy

[@januslog]

That’s awesome It’s a great city! 🌺

[@CrisXing]

Sparks fly for this video, Sir.J ✨️😊 You got a spectacular vantage point of the fireworks during Bastille Day. The boats near the foreground are an interesting detail for celebrating a place with such a long and vibrant naval history. I also enjoyed the butterfly "banderitas" (I looked for the translation but it seemed off. 😅) and the colorful ship sculpture casually jutting out of a building. This is another great vid, Sir J. Kudos to all the sights and sounds and thanks for letting us tag along.😊✨️🫰🏻

[@januslog]

Thank you Cris, it was a fun evening !

[@ariannewdnotbe]

What an enjoyable video! We were in Toulon a few weeks ago because we are thinking of retiring there but since a family member who lives in a nearby village was ill, we didn’t get nearly enough time to look at neighborhoods. It’s a beautiful city.

[@januslog]

Thank you for watching! I agree, it’s a bit of hidden gem and definitely a lovely city to visit 👍

[@lucie462]

Merci a vous Mr de m'être en valeur notre ville et de l aimer❤❤❤❤👌👍

Greetings from Australia mate, a very nice and historical place. Hope to visit soon! When will you make a visit down under?

[@januslog]

Thank you! Australia is definitely on my travel bucket list. I’ve never been 😊

[@justinagritzan]

Thank you Janus for this enjoyable virtual tour through the very beautiful Toulon 👍The harbour looks very festive with the fireworks during Bastille Day 🎊🎉 Do you travel with train from town to town in southern part of French? Have a blessed day from sunny Indonesia 🌞🌞🌞

[@januslog]

Thank you Dina I traveled by car on this one 👍

[@dianamourer5244]

Thank you for this video. I’ll be in Hyeres next month. Do you have a similar video for Hyeres and/or La Seyne sur mer?

[@januslog]

Thank you, unfortunately I did not record any videos there but you may want to check out my videos on Marseilles, Nice, St Tropez, Aix, Nimes and more

[@sploot83]

L'opéra c'est l'autre côté qui est joli

[@stephaneanquetil7042]

tips : buy yoursel at least bus Mistral ticket card (10 trips/10€) at the bottom of Rue D'Alger in "Maison des Mobilités". Then go to the harbour. You can enjoy a go and back sailing trip to Saint-Mandrier, Sablettes or La Sayne/mer with thoses blue public transportation boats. Yes, a 2 euros / person boat trip in the beautifill Rade de Toulon ! See French Marine, 3 anciens forts, sailing boats, fish farms, event catch some submarine or French warships...

[@januslog]

Thank you for the great tip 👍

[@sploot83]

Ville et port napoléonien par excellence

[@jodiehebert8285]

I was wondering, can you speak English or need basic French to communicate with the locals there and navigate Toulon restaurants/hotels? Also, did you find it expensive? I have heard it was affordable to live there, but not sure about shorter visits.

[@januslog]

You can get by with English, especially in hotels and also in larger restaurants. Basic French does of course help and will get you extra brownie points 😅 The French Riviera is generally expensive but compared to most other towns and cities along the coast, I found the prices in Toulon reasonable.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Selon vous, comment se situe Toulon avec Nice, la Côte d'Azur etc, en termes de plaisir, de plage, de randonnées etc ?

[@januslog]

Toulon is quite different from Nice and the other cities and towns in that it’s less touristy. It nicely complements the other cities with its more maritime spirit. Not sure about it’s beaches as I didn’t visit those

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

​@januslog thank you 👍🇬🇧

[@botafogofr187]

What's the best for you, toulon or nice? I prefer nice

[@januslog]

They are very different. Nice is of course much bigger and has more cultural landmarks. So if I had to choose I’d pick Nice. But I’m glad I also went to Toulon 🌺

[@taratara859]

I don’t see many dogs. Is Toulon dog friendly?

[@januslog]

I would imagine it is

[@Slushybear405]

[@januslog]

I had not noticed 😂 Friends make sure that friends’ pants stay in place 😂
