Mont Faron is one of the jewels of Toulon, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city, its harbor and the surrounding area. You can choose to climb its heights on foot or by car. The winding road to the summit is itself a breathtaking experience, with vistas at every turn. For families, a cable car also takes you to the tip of the mountain in just a few minutes.
If you opt for hiking, allow 5 hours of walking along one of the most enchanting routes in the Var. On your arrival, you will discover the Fort du Mont Faron, which houses the Provence Landing Memorial. A must-visit place for history buffs.
Estagnol beach
For a gentle getaway, head to Estagnol Beach. Located just an hour’s drive from Toulon, this spot is a true corner of Mediterranean paradise. Expanse of fine sand, crystal clear waters and the welcoming shade of umbrella pines welcome you with open arms. Often touted as one of the most sublime beaches in the region, it promises an idyllic escape.
The walk leading to this picturesque beach extends over a distance of 12.5 km on foot. As you walk, you will pass through enchanting Mediterranean settings, accompanied by the sweet scent of pine forests. Once you reach your destination, the sight of dazzling white sand mingling with turquoise waters will leave you speechless.
The Notre-Dame de Pépiole chapel
The Notre-Dame de Pépiole chapel represents a perfect getaway for those seeking serenity and religious discoveries. Nestled in the heart of the Pépiole hills, this charming chapel offers breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding area of Toulon. By walking you can reach it in just over an hour. You will cross shaded paths surrounded by pine and oak trees. Once there, the chapel itself becomes a haven of peace and meditation, where you can recharge your batteries while admiring the panorama.
The Notre-Dame de Pépiole chapel is also of great importance as a place of pilgrimage for residents of the region. The building hosts religious events throughout the year, and the celebration of Notre-Dame de Pépiole in September is a highlight in the local community.
