Toulon is generally a town that tourists pass through, but for those who want to find out more, the naval museum and the Memorial du Debarquement (a World War II museum) are an excellent starting point. In nearby Hyeres, there is more of a holiday vibe, with palm trees, casinos and a medieval Old Town which hints at the resort's past.
The true gem of the area, however, is the Giens Peninsula. Popular with tourists, it's the perfect spot for a summer holiday offering camping and water sports, amongst other activities, for families and couples on a getaway. Hire a car at Toulon-Hyeres Airport for the easiest way to get to the peninsula. Be sure to check out the extensive vineyards in the area, where many popular wines are produced.
