Toulon: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture and History
The Musée national de la Marine in Toulon was the first maritime museum to open in France; it opened in 1814 at the Arsenal of Toulon. The collection presents models, mock-ups, relief maps, paintings, and scientific instruments relating to the human and technical history of the arsenal, as well as the military fate of the port of Toulon.
The Musée des arts asiatiques is located in the Villa Jules Verne on Toulon's Frédéric Mistral waterfront, near Fort Saint Louis. Its permanent exhibitions are organized according to geographical origin. On the heights of Toulon, the Mémorial du Débarquement et de la Libération en Provence commemorates the operation of 15 August 1944; a permanent exhibition presents the events of the landing and the consequences of this operation.
The Musée d'art de Toulon's collection of old and modern art focuses on landscape painting and marine painting. Renting a holiday apartment in Toulon can be part of individual travel planning.
