What to expect
Expect a straightforward walking tour at a pace that suits everyone. Your guide will navigate you through key sites while talking you through Toulon's shipping heritage and how the city ticks today. They'll point out neighbourhood haunts—the cafes where regulars spend mornings, the bars with decent wine lists—and explain why locals favour certain areas. The route stays flexible; if weather turns rough or something catches your interest, plans shift. You're not rushing between numbered checkpoints; this is conversation-based discovery on foot.
