Toulon is a medium-sized port city in the heart of the French Riviera. Visitors are drawn to its laid back atmosphere, but this is more than just a place to top up your tan. History enthusiasts will take pleasure in getting to know the city centre, which dates back to the Middle Ages.
It's here that you will find Toulon Cathedral, the centrepiece of the city. This church dates back to the 11th century and showcases classical French architecture from that time. It's also worth visiting the Church Saint-François-de-Paule, an example of Baroque architecture from the 18th century.
While in the historic centre of Toulon, find your way to the harbour and promenade where you can enjoy a fresh seafood dinner in the Mediterranean sun. Enjoy the delicious local fare while gazing out towards the fishing boats stationed in the dock.
With your car hire from Hyeres Airport, be sure to drive to the top of Mont-Faron Hill. From this vantage point, 500m above the main city, you can take photographs of the whole of Toulon. Near the summit you'll find a city zoo where you can spot animals such as wild cats and monkeys.

Hyeres Airport is perfectly situated between the cities of Nice and Marseille. Both are accessible in less than two hours on the road. Drive out and discover what’s beyond the city.
Marseille
89km away from Hyeres airport, lies Marseille. France's second largest city is also the largest port in the country. Marseille has an inviting mix of old-world France and contemporary culture. Take Canebière Avenue down to the historic harbour to witness fisherman selling their daily catch at auction. At Le Cours Julien discover boutique shops and trendy cafes. Football is also a passion of Marseille residents, so be sure to watch a match at the Stade Vélodrome.
Nice
The iconic French city of Nice is less than two hours away by car from the airport. Nice is the centre of culture in the French Riviera. There are many museums here, most of which are free to enter. The Matisse museum is housed within a stunning 17th-century Genoese villa. Next door there is the Musee et Site Archeologiques de Nice-Cimiez, which chronicles ancient Gallo-Roman life. Drive up to the heights of Mont Boron to witness incredible views over the city and the mountains beyond.
Once you have touched down in Hyeres Airport, a ride around the area will allow you to explore all the beauty and culture of the French Riviera at your own pace.
