Been there in summer 2023 and the visit was really interesting, we learned a lot about how perfumes were made!

I recently had the chance to visit the Musée Fragonard and its Jean-Honoré collection in Grasse, and I must say it was one of the highlights of my trip to the French Riviera. What impressed me most was how intimate and authentic the experience felt. Unlike some larger, more overwhelming museums, this one has a quiet charm that allows you to really take your time with the works on display. The collection dedicated to Jean-Honoré Fragonard is especially moving. Seeing his paintings and drawings in the very town where he was born adds an extra layer of depth to the visit. The museum does a wonderful job of highlighting not only his artistry but also his ties to Grasse, which gives the experience a personal and almost local touch. The rooms are arranged in a way that feels both elegant and approachable, so you don’t feel rushed or crowded, and you can truly connect with the art. What I also appreciated was the balance between the art itself and the context provided. The information panels are clear, insightful, and not too overwhelming. You come away with a real sense of Fragonard’s style, his role in the Rococo movement, and how his works reflect both the lightheartedness and refinement of that period. Even if you are not an art historian, the museum manages to make his world accessible and engaging. Another detail that made the visit special was the atmosphere. The building itself has so much character, with its old walls and quiet corners, that you almost feel like you’re stepping back in time. Combined with the fragrant air of Grasse drifting in from outside, it’s an experience that engages more than just your eyes, it feels like you’re truly immersed in French culture and history. Overall, I would highly recommend the Musée Fragonard to anyone visiting Grasse, whether you’re an art lover or simply curious about the town’s heritage. It doesn’t take an entire day, but it leaves a lasting impression, and it’s the kind of place where you walk out feeling richer in spirit. For me, it was not just a museum visit, but a genuine encounter with the elegance and charm of a bygone era.

Grasse is really the biggest tourist trap I've been to. The shops and streets all look dated and really doesn't offer much in terms of touristic sights. Also saw a weaponry shop right at main street...didn't feel safe with the higher number of dodgy characters I saw around. The train back to cannes comes every hour so if you missed, it is a long wait.

What a nice museum, with several temporary exposition and beautiful (very much worth to see!) permanent one. And what a kind people working here. Especially a nice gentleman who is caring of the first floor exposition. So nice and kind! Every time in Grasse put this museum in my “must visit” list.

Great museum/perfumery with perfume and fragrant soaps for sale. Antique perfume bottles on display. On the edge of centre Grasse. Lovely.

Another small free museum in Grasse, this time showing a collection of paintings by Fragonards (both father and son) as well as a few from the epoque. Worth a stop to understand the roots of the city and where the name/vibe of Fragonard is coming from

Fun place to learn about perfumes with a free guided tour in English! Worth the visit!

If you're even "thinking" about visiting Grasse—the perfume capital of the world—then you absolutely "cannot" miss the "Musée International de la Parfumerie"! This place is an absolute gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to our fragrance journey. What makes this museum so special? Well, it’s not just about "looking" at exhibits—it’s a full sensory experience! You’ll *see*, *hear*, and most importantly, *smell* your way through the fascinating history of perfumery. And the best part? The museum gives you an unbiased, educational deep-dive—no brand hype, just pure perfume passion. Now, here’s where our visit went from great to "unforgettable": we were lucky enough to get a kind of a "private tour" with the incredible "Marie", our guide. Not many visitors on that day, so she did the tour only for us. Honestly, she’s an absolute treasure! Her knowledge was astounding, her storytelling was captivating, and her enthusiasm was infectious. It’s clear she "loves" what she does, and her ability to explain everything in perfect English with her lovely French accent made the experience even better. Marie deserves every bit of praise—trust us. You'd be just as impressed as we were! So, if you’re heading to Grasse (or even just "considering" it), do not skip this museum. Whether you’re a perfume fanatic or just curious, you’ll leave with a whole new appreciation for the art of fragrance. Go, smell, learn, and fall in love with perfumery!You won’t regret it. Rating: 5 stars out of 5

I visited in June 2025 and paid 6 euros for a ticket. It wasn't really for me — the museum is small and quite niche. But if you're passionate about perfume history or vintage bottles, you might enjoy it more than I did. A unique stop, but probably better suited for true fragrance enthusiasts.

The Fragonart Perfume Museum in the center of Grasse and the sales area inside the museum are crowded especially in summer. You can see old and new equipment related to perfume making in the museum. There is free parking in front of the museum. It was a nice experience to understand the story of perfume.

I am a true perfume fan, really passionate about fragrances. And Grasse is the fragrance epicenter. I must say this experience wasn’t exactly what I expected. Firstly, I was really keen to see how perfumes are made – maybe a small demonstration or even a short movie showing more or less how they do it. But this is just a museum with artifacts. There are a lot of them, from ancient times up to the 21st century, but as I said, this wasn’t what I thought it would be.

Superbe museum. The city itself was a total disappointment. Too many touristic traps. The Saturday market was so sad (3-4 stalls selling fruits from Spain, not even locally sourced items). However, the museum was a great surprise. There is a 90min visit (in French) at 3 euros which is amazing (11am in summer). The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Totally recommend (more than the Fragonard one).

Quite a large museum covering the history of perfume till present day...interesting processes from start to the finished product...also display of eastern influences with interesting containers as well as the bigger brands & how they came into existence...there is a shop available to purchase perfumes as well...

Excellent place to learn about the history and development of perfume. Lots of interesting facts and the story of the longest standing perfume family, especially in France

don’t get me wrong this is a BEAUTIFUL hike! but we were expecting it to be a one hour hike and it ended up being four hours which we were unprepared for. maybe it’s on us or maybe they need better signage? pack lots of water!

Beautiful place with exceptional views, if you're lucky you'll see the wild boar too.

Wonderful area..i like this place and i like tu turn again

Pretty

Loved it!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful but there are not many places to park and therefore enjoy the panorama. Above all, you have to drive along the coast. On foot, it's not easy either. We are not going to walk along the road, knowing that there is no room for pedestrians! No coastal path either or very little. (Original) Très beau mais il n'y a pas beaucoup d'endroits pour se garer et donc profiter du panorama. Il faut surtout longer la côte en voiture. À pied, ce n'est pas facile non plus. On ne va pas longer la route, sachant qu'il n'y a pas de place pour les piétons ! Pas de chemin côtier non plus ou très peu.

(Translated by Google) This place is magnificent. Thank you to everyone who continues to respect the place and carefully take their rubbish with them. (Original) Ce lieu est magnifique. Merci à tous les gens qui continuent de respecter l'endroit, et garde soigneusement leurs déchets avec eux.

My second home. Love it so mutch. Wish a could move there.

Great place. Huge bicycle event.

Magic

Beautiful place right next to the beach.

We visited Friday 22nd August and went to the naturist section which there are 2 off both are a right mix of n7de and textiles which is fine, but what really put us off was the people with dogs who did not lift the poos they just left them or even worse covered it with sand.

One of the best beaches in the Saint Tropez / Ramatuelle area. Just stunningly, but busy.

It is a nice beach but beware bring water and anything else you may need. We had a reservation at Nikki Beach but before that all of the ‘beach clubs’ won’t really even let you buy water or a drink, and renting chairs at them is very expensive.

Superb beach - totally clean water, nice waves, easy to walk in and all of the services you may need: ample parking (8 hours for roughly 20€, 30 min free), life savers services along the beach, an ice man running by with a cart and several clubs where you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas plus have expensive lunches. Awesome place.

Nice beach, lots of parking

The beach Pampelonne Beach I visited today was absolutely splendid. The azure waters of the ocean were crystal clear and full of life. The pristine shores were immaculate, and the velvety sand felt luxurious under my feet. Not a single rock could be found anywhere, enhancing the beach's allure. I highly recommend this beach as a must-visit destination.

Really beautiful beach! Color of water is gorgeous, it’s soo warm and clean. Everywhere ships. Beach clubs on the left and right, very convenient. Not soo crowded. Recommend that spot.

It takes about 20 min to get to the chapel The view from there is well worth the effort There'salso a pick nick area

A very rocky climb to the top but well worth it.Various bench's on route to catch your breath.Once at the top the views are spectacular.Popped into the church and rang the bell...love it

It is a small charming church on the top of the Roc mountain in the heart of Castallon village. From the first sight it seems like the mountain is too steep to climb, but indeed there are two not difficult at all trails, leading to the church and the panoramic viewpoint over the village. I took the Chemin du Croix (Christ Path) from the village center. To come back if you need to take another path, take right side on the crossing, it will lead you through the splendid view over the Notre Dame du Roc and the Old Tower. There is no accessible way to the church though, only hiking one. Inside of the church one will find lots of gratitudes from 18th century and till nowadays. Very touching.

the view is great.it is a 40 minutes walk from the center of Castellane.Make sure you get some water and a camera with you.The Chapelle is very interesting as well.they are restoring it since 1880.but it is part of a greter Castle that used to be in the area. if you visit Castellane , going up there is totally recommended !!!

There are several paths up to this amazing chapel. The longer one is the less steep and strenuous . It’s well worth the effort.

A beautiful chapel, worth the walk up a rocky pathway with spectacular views all the way to the top.you can ring the bell when you get there.

hard to walk, afer one hour the sightseeing is unbelievable

1. One of the most impressive places in Provence - the grandeur of nature is amazing. 2. The blue water of the Verdon and high cliffs create a truly magical picture. 3. Here you can walk, ride a boat or kayak. 4. A great place for photos and meditation in nature. 5. Definitely worth a visit - the views remain in your heart for a long time.

Some people's pictures are not of the Gorge they are of the lake at the bottom 30 minutes away. Just look at the geography of the land of you aren't sure. There is no lake. The pin poin is actually the very top. Please see my pictures for actual Verdon Gorge.

A must see if you are anywhere near the area. We drove 2 hours and it was completely worth it. We hired a pedalo near the mouth at Lac De Sainte Croix and pedalled up, it was the perfect way to see the canyon. Simply breathtaking, gorgeous natural beauty.

Stunning. There are no other words to describe it. It is one of the most beautiful places on this planet.

One of the most beautiful places I have seen in my life. 100% must see!

Breathtaking scenery and an unforgettable experience! We had an amazing time at Gorges du Verdon. The views are absolutely stunning—the water is a perfect turquoise, and the surrounding cliffs make it feel like something out of a postcard. We rented a paddle boat and explored deep into the canyon, but there are also kayaks and electric boats available if you prefer. The water was refreshing and perfect for a swim, and if you’re feeling adventurous, there are plenty of rocks to jump off of for a bit of extra fun. We went in the morning, which I highly recommend to avoid crowds and enjoy the calm atmosphere. The rental process was quick, with hardly any waiting, but make sure to bring an ID or driver’s license—it’s required to rent equipment. The staff were friendly, and the boats were in good condition. The price was very fair for the time we had on the water. There are also nearby cafes, restrooms, and parking, making it easy to spend a half or full day here. Whether you want a peaceful paddle, a swim in crystal-clear water, or a bit of cliff-jumping adventure, Gorges du Verdon is an absolute must-visit.

Simply amazing canyon. Recommend to make a stop for a picnic and enjoy the view!

As President of the British Association of the VAR I confirm that the tour arranged by us was well received by the majority of the 20 in the group. You always get one.Perhaps not a Swedish expression We expected the tour to be in French in such a historic place. The guide was excellent. I encourage our members to integrate as much as possible we are after all in France. We plan another trip next winter

The beach is disgusting. They should spend the ridiculous price of the car park on cleaning up the beach. Rubbish everywhere !

'Having read up on the Forts history beforehand the guided visit met up fully with the expectations and I have personally received comments as the well-being organiser that it was a very informative and enjoyable tour. The majority of the BAV members that live in France have a knowledge of the French language which is why this highly recommended visit was proposed to its members. A big thank you goes to all concerned for accepting us as your first visitors of 2023 '

So we get there at the gate. What we have to pay for parking!? What we have to buy a ticket to just get to the Fort!? What we can't buy the tickets there at the location!? So I was bit frustrated and was not the coolest guy to be around. However we were able to purchase the tickets online before the next tour. This is when I started to feel bad for my attitude toward the staff and started enjoying the beautiful scenery of both the location and smiles. Marie the tour guide was the most wonderful and charismatic person. Enthused about Fort de Bregancon she captivated both the crowd and me to the point where I stopped listening and started wondering if she was single.

This was a fabulous outing, and I have recommended it to another international group. My only gripe is that there were was a lot of information that included numbers and years, but it was fine for the most part. I did learn some new words e.g. "double tomber l'eau"...I think that is the spelling. Maybe a leaflet with key dates for visitors or give the main website for information so non French speakers (or even French speakers) can read before their trip. It was an all round superb visit.

In mistral weather ( big wind ) it was great ... it accentuates the contrast of the landscape ... I have not visited the fortress of the president, but I made the rolling stone on the coastal paths ...(les sentiers du littoral ). the parking is not free ... Maybe the commune has no money ..... a little surprised anyway. .. here we murder the tourists with exhorbitant prices .. damned ... The restaurant frenchy of proximity is shabby and expensive. ...

Sadly not open for public when we where there, but a nice area, worth a short trip when you r in the area!

The beach is beautiful, however we found human excrements in the water for the second year in a row. We’ve noticed the park workers and they said is probably due to the boats in the bay close to the beach. This is unacceptable considering that beach people have park regulations to respect and each car pays for the entrance.

Parking is €12 per day, but the beach gets overcrowded and even finding a spot is uncertain. Long lines at the entrance and people packed too close together make it less enjoyable. Only recommend outside peak season.

Visited peak Season in August. As others say, wasn’t even anywhere to put a towel down. Water was murky, kept getting whiffs of rotten eggs. As much as the fine sand was nice, it gets stuck to everything, still finding it days later. Car was covered inside from it. Avoid.

At just 20 mins drive from Bormes-les-Mimosas, la plage de l’Estagnol is a quaint little sand beach, with clear and wonderful warm waters, beautiful views and settings in a well preserved Mediterranean bay. It has a nearby parking that costs 11 € where you can park your car under beautiful pine trees. There are two restaurants offering a good choice of refreshments and foods. Highly recommended for families with kids. Make sure to get there early as it gets busy very quickly.

Golden sand Beach, it's not deep at sore, can go in water. A big parking spaces. Entry ticket is 12 euro

Personal favourite. Calm hidden gem with 2 lovely restaurants that offer reasonable prices. Great for tanning and shallow waters. No screaming kids. 10 euro per car entry. You are able to picnic in the forest so do bring your picnic table and chairs.

10€ is not so expensive to park, yes the price is high at the restaurant but it’s understandably because staff should have salary and it’s a short time for this kind of business. Over the drinks and the food 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

To me there was almost no the spirit- they made it like museum and take 9 euro for the entrance. Disapointed.

This is off the beaten path a little, but we were so glad we visited. Beautifully restored 900 year old Abbey. If you are looking for fancy gargoyles and intricate designs then this isn't the place for you. It is sleek and simple in lines and impresses with its size, simple beauty, and sense of peace. The acoustics are impressive, whether in the church or the monks dormitory. The barrel vaulted ceilings and cloisters are beautiful. Visited on a Tuesday and there were only a dozen or so other visitors there at the same time so often we had spaces to ourselves. The parking lot is just across the road and it is a 200m or so walk on a cobbled path to the entrance through the reception/gift shop. Audio guides are available in English. There is a kiosk selling cold drinks & gelato by the car park.

Beautiful abandoned monastery set among trees a few miles outside Carcès. The monks may have gone, but their church and monastic buildings remain and it's fascinating to look at how they, and the Lay Brothers, lived their simple lives. (Not too simple though. Look at the size of that tithe barn). The acoustics in the the Romanesque church are wonderful. Outside, even the grasshoppers keep reverentially quiet. If feeding the flesh is as important to you as feeding the spirit, then there's a very pleasant little coffee shop in the car park a few hundred yards away. Tickets are 9€ and can be bought in advance on the website.

One of the most amazing places i've visited, really shows how monks used to live back in the day. Abbey and surrounding nature makes you feel like you're back to medieval times

Entering through the gateway to Thoronet is like stepping out of time. The museum’s quiet halls open into a world where the Cistercians’ austere simplicity still breathes through the stones. Further out into the courtyard around the church, one encounters silence , an architecture that does not shout, but whispers of proportion, light, and shadow. Here, each step becomes a meditation on how humanity shapes spaces for the sacred. In the olive production, where soil and labor are joined, one is reminded of the rhythm of monastic life: prayer and work, ora et labora. The roots of the olive trees reach deep, as if searching for what lies hidden in the frost the quiet force that carries both fruit and history. And finally, the magnificent jar. A simple vessel, yet also a symbol: humanity’s attempt to give form to what would otherwise slip away. Here, clay becomes a mirror of our own existence, fragile, yet filled with meaning. Thoronet is not merely a visit; it is a reminder that simplicity can be the most enduring. Perhaps something we ought to reflect on more today.

We went here on the recommendation of a family member and were not disappointed. What a fantastic abbey that is still in it's original condition. You can take a 1 hour guided tour or take the map and tour on your own. If you would like a guided tour in a different language than French, make sure you call ahead and request the language you would like for your tour. The atmosphere here was very peaceful. Plenty to photograph and appreciate. Would definitely recommend a tour here if you are in the area. Well worth it.

Very interesting for a visit

Great lake to have fun. You can rent peddle boats, motor boats and all kinds of other water equipment. The water is nice and clear. The "beach" is full of stones so it is advisable to have decent flipflops, especially coming out of the water is a bit tricky.

One of the best places in Europe , eventhough it was raining when we went so that we couldn’t do the boat ride/kayak or we couldn’t swim, but it worth even to visit and have that idyllic views of the lake. Heavenly place - gives you goosebumps.. Such a relaxing place. if you are a nature lover definitely worths a visit

One of the most beautiful lakes in the world. I've never seen such intense turquoise water before. I recommend visiting this place after peak season

One of the most beautiful places ive ever been, reasonable boat hire and the cutest paddle boats with diving board or slide. The bluest water I’ve ever seen

It is a huge lake in the Alps of Haute Provence region, known for its boat sailing, kayaking, pets and kids friendly beaches with fabulous view over the lake from the village and over the village from the lake. I took a trail around and across the village and was delighted with the scenery around, but I didn’t take any boat nor kayak trip, that are highly recommended though because if the peaceful waters and stunning view. There is an easy access to the lake itself, and to the main village streets. One can find a camping car lot and camping itself right near the entrance to the village, fully equipped with playgrounds and barbecue places. The place is full with people though everywhere: in the water and camping.

If you want to paddle around the lake and canyons, it is recommended to navigate directly to “Pont du Galetas”, where there are parking spaces and boat and kayak rentals. Very beautiful and very close to lavender fields.

A wonderful experience in the Gorges du Verdon

It is a nice museum in a nice building but we just couldn’t believe that all information was only in French. They even didn’t have printed materials in foreign languges. We used an English audio guide but it was incomplete. The multimedia presentation could use subtitles (even in French). And cherry on top was an arrogant commentary of a receptionist that we could learn there some French. Just wow.

This is always going to be very subjective. But if you're going to have a museum full of exciting recreated animals that children will love, then that's what you stick on your adverts. Because, then people that see the adverts and like what they see will come to the museum , and like everything they see. This is sadly not the case here. The publicity photo is literally the first thing you see after opening the door (to the amazing building). But after that it is virtually all tiny bits of broken stone that someone has declared was a spear or arrow, or knife or toothpick etc. Funnily enough my kids (3 and 10) thought that basically one broken stone is much like another broken stone. Now of course this isn't true, and I appreciate all the research and information given about each broken stone. And the 10yr old got into it a bit. But if you want people who are interested in broken stone to come to the museum then put a broken stone on the ad. There won't be as many of them, but they'll be happy as Larry!

Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed by this museum. The building is good and there a few good features, but overall, there was too much text and some artifacts but little to keep children and adults alike captivated. Even if the content itself is very interesting and detailed, an overhaul of the main exhibit would be welcome to better match today's expectations for a museum. As a side note, please be aware that all text is in French only. Also, the "prehistoric village" nearby is quite nice.

Spent a couple of hours here. Even our young kids enjoyed it. Used the audio guide in English. Very interesting place.

Very one direction oriented museum. If you are a fun of a small tools fragments, which all look like small random stones, you will love it. But not us..

Great museum ! It’s a good place for anyone who loves the gorges du verdon ! visiting the museum was a highlight for me i learned so many new things about the gorges which is really nice because I love this nature reserve so much !! So If you are a fan of the verdon canyon area you must visit this museum you will be surprised how much you learn about the area !

Fantastic place, where you can learn a lot for the prehistoric time. Recommending the museum 200%.

Nice mountain to catch a bird's eye view of Toulon. Despite the overcast sky, the views were great. The queue to the cable car was rather long... took us about 2 hours to get to our turn cos there as a short lunch break for the operators. Everyone was patient though. It is best to allocate half a day for this sightseeing as the journey itself takes time. There are places of interest at the top and this could easily take a couple of hours if you want to enjoy the moment.

We were here early, as the queues grow fast. I would recommend coming early. Especially in a warm / hot day. Cables are smooth and fast to climb or return down mountain. Beautiful views from cable car, and amazing at the top looking down onto Toulon. Highly recommended.

A cool spot! I went on Saturday, and there were absolutely no lines or crowds. The whole visit from beginning to end took about an hour, since both the war museum/memorial at the top and the restaurant were closed so wasn’t sure what else to do in there rather than to admire the view. But the ride itself was magnificent, and the scenery truly left me in awe. I also walked all the way from the city centre - it’s a bit uphill, but overall a good walk (about 2 km), very doable.

Visited Toulon via cruise ship voyager and if you choose to do anything in Toulon make this your priority! It was a 30 minute walk from the port to cable car, €9 for a return trip, the views of Toulon are absolutely stunning, if you enjoy hiking there are numerous trails from the top, we simply took the trip and soaked in the panorama on a beautiful day.

The Mountain Above the Sea – Mont Faron Rising high above the harbor city of Toulon, Mont Faron isn’t just a mountain — it’s a silent guardian that has watched over the Mediterranean for centuries. But getting to its summit isn’t a climb — it’s a glide. A bright red cable car swings gently above the rooftops and trees, lifting visitors from the busy streets to the sky. As the city shrinks below, and the sea stretches wide in every direction, the journey itself feels like a moment suspended in time. At the top, Mont Faron offers more than breathtaking views. It's a place of history, with a memorial to the Allied landings in Provence during World War II — a reminder that even the most peaceful places have witnessed moments of courage and conflict. But perhaps the real magic lies in standing still at the summit, watching the sun paint golden paths on the water below, and feeling for a moment like you're on top of the world — with all of Toulon quietly at your feet.

This is a fantastic value. Great views, friendly staff, and many hiking paths to explore at the summit including a zoo, chapel, and restaurant. Plus you can buy the bus and cable car pass as a combination for only 10euro. The bus drops right at the entrance with no connections required

Very fun. Short but enjoyable. Felt clean and safe. The view from the top was great.

We did a boat tour in the entire harbor area. It is an interesting tour with much information about the ships and the area. The tour is only in French language but you get a sheet with information to most of the visited spots.

(Translated by Google) The Toulon harbor is a harbor located on the French Mediterranean coast, in the Var department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It is bordered by the Toulon-Provence-Méditerranée metropolitan area and includes the towns of Toulon, La Seyne-sur-Mer, and Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer. Used since antiquity by Greek and then Roman ships, it now houses the civilian and military port of Toulon. It is surrounded by several protective forts, such as the Fort of Six-Fours, still in use, as well as several others like the Fort of Balaguier, now decommissioned and constituting an important part of the military heritage. History Military confrontations, shipwrecks, and scuttling edit The harbor and its surrounding areas have been the scene of military clashes between France and various belligerents throughout the centuries. Notable battles include the Battle of Cap Sicié in 1744, the Siege of Toulon in 1793, and the Battle of the Hyères Islands in 1795. The harbor has also been the site of shipwrecks, such as that of La Lune, returning from a military expedition to North Africa in 1644, which resulted in the deaths of over 700 sailors and soldiers. It was also the location for the scuttling of the French fleet in November 1942, to prevent it from falling into German hands. (Original) La rade de Toulon est une rade située sur la côte française de la Méditerranée, dans le Var en région Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur. Elle est bordée par la métropole Toulon-Provence-Méditerranée et notamment les communes de Toulon, La Seyne-sur-Mer et Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer. Utilisée depuis l'Antiquité par les navires grecs puis romains, elle abrite aujourd'hui le port civil et militaire de Toulon. Elle est entourée de plusieurs forts protecteurs, comme le fort de Six-Fours, encore utilisé, ainsi que plusieurs autres comme le fort de Balaguier maintenant réformés et constituant un important patrimoine militaire. Histoire Affrontements militaires, naufrage et sabordage modifier La rade ou ses abords sont le théâtre militaire d'affrontements entre la France et différents belligérants au fil des siècles. On peut citer pour les principales, la bataille du cap Sicié en 1744, le siège de Toulon en 1793, la bataille des îles d'Hyères en 1795. La rade est aussi le lieu de naufrages comme celui de La Lune de retour d'une expédition militaire en Afrique du Nord en 1644, provoquant la mort de plus de 700 marins et soldats. Elle est aussi le cadre du sabordage de la flotte française en novembre 1942, pour ne pas tomber dans les mains allemandes.

(Translated by Google) Perfect it is nice this port the accessibility is simple but be careful for the ferry to go there early a lot of people but unforgettable boat ride with the sunset to see (Original) Parfait il est sympathique ce port l accessibilité est simple mais attention pour le ferry y aller en avance beaucoup de monde mais balade en bateau inoubliable avec le coucher de soleil à voir

(Translated by Google) Gorgeous. I advise you to take a short boat trip/visit (Original) Magnifique. Je vous conseille de faire une petite sortie en bateau/visite

(Translated by Google) It was magnificent and incredibly beautiful!!! I had the chance to visit when the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was docked. It was splendid. the harbor is also very beautiful and worth the detour! The place is relaxing. There are quite a few restaurants nearby that serve very good fish. We loved it! (Original) Ce fut magnifique et incroyablement beau !!! J’ai eu la chance de visiter lorsque le porte-avion Charles de Gaulle était à quai. C’était splendide. la rade est par ailleurs très belle et vaut le détour! L’endroit est relaxant. Il y a pas mal de restaurants à côté qui servent du très bon poisson. Nous avons adoré!

(Translated by Google) Very pretty harbor with many military boats including the famous Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier. (Original) Très jolie rade avec beaucoup de bateaux militaires dont le fameux porte avions Charles de Gaulle.

(Translated by Google) The harbor is magnificent whatever the day of the year. It is separated in two by a large dyke: the small harbor includes the port of Toulon, the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, Sablettes, the port of Seyne sur mer Saint-mandrier, Fort Balaguier, the Tamaris corniche, the cabins on stilts of the mussel parks The large harbor includes the beaches of Mourrillon, the Mejean and Magaud coves (Original) La Rade est magnifique quelque soit le jour de l'année. Elle est séparée en deux par u'e grande digue: la petite Rade inclus le port de Toulon, le porte avion Charles de Gaulle, les sablettes, le port de la seyne sur mer Saint-mandrier , le fort Balaguier, la corniche de Tamaris, les cabanes sur pilotis des parcs à moule La grande rade inclut les plages du Mourrillon, les anses Mejean et Magaud

imposing and beautiful basilica in the old town, the largest Gothic building in Provence which houses the relics of Mary Magdalene ...

Beautiful basilique with lots of history. If you get a chance to go with a guide, I would recommend that! And don’t forget to check out the gift shop to participate in the renovation fundraising (they sell religious items but also local honey and other things, and you can pay by card). We were lucky to visit it with a friend who had done a guided tour on the journées du patrimoine and explained a lot of the history like how it was almost robbed at the revolution and that’s why a lot of the stained glass is gone but the organ player started playing the national anthem and pushed the invaders away. The story of Sainte Marie Madeleine is beautiful too, and so much more!

Another fantastically beautiful and Grand cathedral.

Wonderful place well preserved, which dates back to the beginning of Christianity The abside is really spectacular The 2000-years old crypt contains the remains of our Saint Sister Marie-Madelaine, which seems unbelievable One downside : large groups of people just stay packed inside the crypt for long periods of time, preventing other persons from accessing the tombs

Beautiful basilica with a crypt that holds the skull of Mary Magdalene, very much worth the visit if in the area!

A dream come true! I also visited her cave and her chapel in La Cadière-d’Azur 🇫🇷❤️

I had a great time visiting the Basilica. Recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Great local shops all around as well. 💖✨️

Everything was good ,but online it says that you not supposed to use bikini but on site is totally different :) you should wear the bikini and it's not allowed to go to the water with short even to look after your kids . I would be more happy if there was some animation show made for children but there wasn't :( Everything else was good :) children had fun , food good ,ice creams and pancakes. Lovely animals and friendly staff . They are toilets there ,place where you can seat and eat your lunch ,but not any changing rooms or locker to put your bag for safety. You can take the pushchair for the baby but it's not so easy to drive it there ;)

Nice place for kids aged upto 12-13 year. Kids can explore animal plus can also learn feeding animals. Rides and adventure are good.Few rides are not working.

The place is nice for kids, on Thursdays and Sundays they are open till midnight with karoke and music. When we went, the water games weren't available. There are some animals which kids would appreciate and lots of games and rides for kids. Highly recommended for kids. When we went in the night, the guy who operates the giant wheel wasn't available and didn't cube even after calling him, that's why reduced a star, other than this it was a very good experience.

A good place to spend a good weekend with kids loved when kids enjoyed each ride don't miss the long slide n the caterpillar rollercoaster n the view from the wheel is worth... Loved the car game n trampoline... There is a little fram animals too... Try it I'm sure you will enjoy 👍

Boys adored this place. Both 2 and 3 and it was so geared for them. Highly recommend for toddlers, they slept the whole way home

Great place for the little ones. Went here with three kids 5-8 years old. Great time with the animals and rides.

An affordable way to buy 3 hours of peace, while kids enjoy and release all their energy, you can have some time for yourself. My last visit here was 7 years ago. They improved some parts with new things while other things remained the same. The woman at the reception as you arrive is welcoming and nice, while the girl and the guy at the food stand selling crepe and drinks could have been more welcoming, less frowning and perhaps get better training from fellow people from the service industry. Lovely place for the summer, a short stop for the young kids. One round for the summer is enough, a second round would be boring already. Bring your own towel, some cold drinks, a face spray to cool off. Went this August 2022 with 3 kids (12, 10 and 8 years old).

The western theming is excellent and the park is clean! The rides are quite close together so no unnecessary walking needed. Free and spacious parking available. Bags are checked before entry. Buying tickets was fast. We enjoyed our day and our 4yr old son managed to ride majority of rides alone or accompanied. There are a lot of new/unusual rides we've not seen before. I took one star off however due to ride times as there is only one ride operator per ride and this holds the queues up. Also, there is no shade/covers/canopies for most rides whilst queuing and it does get very hot. I would recommend the water sprays/mists around the park to take the edge off the humidity.

Great amusement park, themed after the USA's far west, with lots of rides for all sizes and ages.

Spent the day at OK Corral. Rides are Ok but nothing overly exciting. Gold Rush probably the best ride out of all. Kids had fun though. Service poor at best.. see transcript of hilarious conversation with Bartender: note temperature was scorching close to 40 degrees Me: 2 Beers and a large bottle of water BT: Sir we only have small bottles Me: OK.. 3 small bottles of water then. Can I have them nice and cold? BT: No sir the fridge is not working well and water is not cold Me: Ok.. can I have some Ice? BT: No sir, we dont have ice Me: could I have the beer in some Glass glasses and not plastic cups? BT: No sir only plastic cups here Me: could I al least have a slice of Lemon? BT: we don’t have lemons here.. this is not a NY bar, this is a western bar, we have what we have.. €26 please!

It was nice its more for children than adults ..... and some games couldnt play cause of my weight i couldn't fit ....we didnt know that some food place close at 2pm so it was a disappointment i wanted to taste the burger .... but also the hotdog was tasty

We went there on a Friday in July. There was basically no need to wait for all the facilities. There were performances more or less every two hours. The actors and actresses were very very professional, and the attitude of all the staffs were very nice even when the kids kept asking for playing the same game repeatedly. Children under one meter are free, and there are many items to play. Very good experience! Great for little ones.

Wonderful staff, excellent products, highly maintained quality, Very responsive..

Absolutely great theming!!!! I also loved the Gold Rush Ride! No extreme thrill rides here but that’s ok. The western theme was so greatly done. Also we went around Halloween and there was a lot of Halloween decorations too. Loved it!!

This is a strange and unusual landscape which is worth a visit. Note - for morning visits especially one must reserve parking to guarantee entrance. On arrival you pay €8 for the car. You can then walk through the space, the longer walk took us 1.5 hours.

A big area to walk e.g. there is a good 4 km loop that is a little bit challenging on a hot day. When you get to the Belvedere’s, you actually get a good view. If you’re into red coloured sand cliffs and bits of shady walks this is for you. If you are travelling on foot like we did from the local village you do not pay any entrance fee. The fees are all if you are parking but entrance to the site itself is free..

We stopped off on a bit of a road trip to have an explore of this interesting diversion. It was surprisingly busy when we arrived at the car park. There was a small queue of cars even though it was a midweek lunchtime visit. The queue went quick though, and there was lots of space to park. The price was for one car parking garage space and was €8. This gave our family of four entrance. We took the short route around, which took us about an hour. It was easy walking, and after 15 minutes we got to the interesting yellow and orange hills and dunes. It was really quite interesting, with lots of space to take some pictures as it did not feel too busy once we got there. After wandering around and taking some snaps, we headed back to get some cold can drinks from the little drinks snack, which had some seating in the shade. All in all, we had a really nice time for a good price.

8€ for parking, leaflet provided. A little overcrowded on a Thursday afternoon. We did the easy trail of 2km. Can imagine it looks even more amazing when the sun is out!

The Provençal Colorado , well what a fantastic place to visit with all the family young children included. First of all parking for a car in high season is €8 which I thinks pretty reasonable . There’s two trails to choose from at The Provençal Colorado there labeled Blue Trail and Red trail . The blue trail is said to take 40 minutes, and the red trail is to take you around 90 mins if you’re fit and able . We chose the blue trail as we couldn’t manage the red trail . The scenery around The Provençal Colorado is absolutely stunning .i was genuinely taken aback by the views . Regarding footwear before you go on the trail, I would say you are fine in trainers/Sneakers if you like , just at the very end of the trail there is a small amount of water running across the trail . The team at The Provençal Colorado have kindly placed some logs to help you get across with dry feet . If you want you can also wear a pair of hiking shoes or boots whichever you prefer . There’s toilet facilities on site to use which are free . And may I add very clean and well kept . Also a restaurant and a van to get all your refreshments from . There’s also a souvenir shop onsite which has some beautiful items for sale too . I’d also like to thank the gentleman that runs the souvenir shop, because I’d dropped my wallet in his shop and he came chasing after me around the trail to return my wallet .Thank you very much sir , If that would have been back in my country it would have vanished. The Provençal Colorado is well worth visiting you won’t be disappointed.

It is amazing creation of nature. It just looks beatifully. Hundreds of colours of yellow, Orange, Brown and red. It is really worth to see.

Such a gem in France. I recommende to visit this place in spring winter or autumn. It might be very hot during summer and there are no shade on the hiking/walking tracks. You can take a picnic and spend some time in the Park. There are tables and benches everywhere . A hat and sunscreen is à must. The whole visit is about 2hr.

Cute place to visit. You can walk around the ground floor for free, and get to the garden. The exhibition is paid, and there is also a restaurant/cafe which you can visit and enjoy a drink/food in the small garden or inside. The interior is pretty interesting and there were a lot of artworks to be seen all around. We were especially amazed by the small labyrinth (parterre design) in the back garden. 🥰

A gorgeous oasis of peace, style and refinement in the heart of Aix-en-Provence. I loved the 30' film about Cezanne's life showed as part of the visit. The permanent collection is interesting and the layout of the building impressive. The two leveled garden is wonderful in all seasons...and the elegant café adds to the experience. An absolute pleasure and a treat. A reminder that.. La vie est belle...

Always a magical visit to this special space displaying the current art scene in the heart of Aix en Provence. Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition was incredible! The permanent sculpture and painting installations are incredible (on the first two floors) as is the Jardin and the gift shoppe that transports you to an era gone by ! Buy tickets in advance online.

Enjoyed the perfect early afternoon here. I began with lunch, toured the art exhibition, then topped off my visit relaxing in the rear garden. Perfection.

Very nice museum in a lovely old building in the middle of Aix. Currently an inspiring exhibition with works by French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle. While there be sure to visit the beautiful garden. The cafe is nice and fits well with aura of the museum.

Went to the Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition which had outstanding organization, presentation, and descriptions in both French and much appreciated English. We also had a wonderful lunch at the café and enjoyed the Cezanne movie.

We were here to see the exibition of Niki de Saint Phalle. The hotel is very beautiful. Unfortunately we couldn't see the cafe because it was closed for a private visit but we saw it from the door; very colorful...

Wide scenic boulevard on the edge of the old town

There are so many small, amazing streets in Aix-en-Provence, that Cours Mirabeau pales in comparison with. Of course, if you are there, you need to see it, but we’ve spent hours walking on the streets around it.

one reason why i love visiting aix because the city is a very lovely walkable one ♥️ this street will be full of vendors in certain days including saturdays morning! And you can find literally everything from clothes to antiques! Must visit!

Here is ware you would like to be. Specially after noon. Nice atmosphere and full of attractions Lot of artist 🧑‍🎨 and what they making for sell. Restaurants. Architectural. And happy people’s

Pedestrian area. Don't bring tour vehicule.

Very nice street dedicated mainly to walkers, with lots of different choices of cafes and restaurants, also several shopping places and banks, very good for spending the day.

A shopping place for both high end and low end products. The main street is lined with tents selling affordable items

I must be missing something for this to get an average of four on Google. A very sporadic display - no story or theme really linking them. Limited educational text. If it’s pouring with rain and you want 10 minutes out of the weather then maybe, otherwise a waste of 6 euro entry. Also like another reviewer mentioned we were followed around the museum as if we were a group of naughty school children in a corner shop. Weird.

By my understanding and standards, this place cannot be considered a museum. There are hardly any objects on display. I entered with the hope of finding an ethnographic museum, but it was a disappointment. Moreover, if you don’t know French language like us, you won’t be able to read anything or understand the visual presentations. Even if you consider the entrance fee as a donation, you’d be better off spending your time exploring the historic streets of this beautiful city.

Very limited collection focussing mainly on ecclesiastical themes… no English translations so only go if you are passionate about the history of Aix and can speak good French!

There wasn’t much to see, unfortunately. I was hoping to get a look at the mansion’s interior and some original furniture, but it turned out to be a small museum with just a few Cézanne paintings upstairs, and some rather creepy puppet dolls 😂

The city was founded in 123 B.C. but the museum touches on the period starting from the 17th century only. You'll see a few models and artifacts from that era but you won't learn much about the actual history of the city for the most part. The displayed paintings are mostly related to Cezanne's fellow artists/friends, half of the museum could be regarded as a small extension of Musée Granet which is dedicated to Cezanne himself and many more painters. There's a room with an interesting 3D model for a cupola project of St. Peter's Basilica (Vatican), the video is quite interesting telling the story of the project but the connection to Aix is that a collector bought the model in Italy and brought it to Aix. The museum has some artifacts but it's missing out most of the city's interesting history unfortunately. It can be a nice break for 20-25 min if you are in downtown, entrance is free on the first Sunday of the month!

Followed around the entire museum like we weren't trustworthy. Made me feel pretty uncomfortable. I left after about 7 minutes.

Nice small museum, however the ticket vendor quite blatantly tried to short change me, then pretended she hadn't noticed the 2€ in her hand. The actual museum attendant was helpful though.

No fire, no smoking and no litter please ! Gemstone water at the foot of dizzy white cliffs. A good physical condition is better since you may need at minimum about 1h of walking one way from the parking to the beach. Check on the internet if the path is open, it closes on dry and windy times to limit wildfire risks and you need a reservation (free) during summer. You can also choose to dive there, which is a great way to see the Mediterranean fishes near Riou, where fishing is prohibited.

Stunning place, rugged mountain cliffs perched above the mediteranean. Hiked the red-white trail from les Baumettes to Cassis, aprox 25km. Tough terrain, sometimes became quite exposed, not your average walk in the park, attention to the path and markings is key. Losing or missing a sign can lead you to the middle of nowhere. Bring plenty of water.

Visiting the Calanques National Park was an absolutely sublime experience. The turquoise waters are breathtaking, and the way the sea crashes against the mountains creates a powerful, almost overwhelming sensation. I had the chance to discover it on a yacht, which made the experience even more unique and luxurious, allowing me to fully enjoy the hidden coves and majestic cliffs. The contrast between the crystal-clear sea, the bright limestone rocks, and the calm Mediterranean atmosphere is unforgettable. A true natural wonder that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Marseille.

Great place to spend time if you are traveling with kids. Lots of different animals to see. Interesting facts mentioned in attractive way for kids to read.

Beautiful national park on the Mediterranean coast. We were here rock climbing for a week. You could stay here a year and never do the same 2 climbs. So much to explore and climb. Incredible rock and views. Definitely do the 6 pitch 5.10a Arete de Marseille. Some of the more popular climbing areas are a little slick from wear. Still, worth it and highly recommend for a climbing trip!!

Well maintained national park with lots of properly marked hiking options! Good cliff diving experience can be gained at the calanque d’en Vau, for the adrenaline seekers! Pack a lot of water (minimum 2 ltrs per person) and supplies because one you leave from Parking du loggison, there’s no water source, ANYWHERE!!

It is beautiful there! The Sea looks very great! And the water is so clear! It is Wonderful to swimm and hiking!

(Translated by Google) Very good stay in a pleasant, well-maintained apartment. Very caring staff I will come back with pleasure if the opportunity arises except in summer in case of strong heat (Original) Très bon séjour dans un agréable appartement bien entretenu . Personnel au petit soin Je reviendrai avec plaisir si l’occasion se presente sauf en été en cas de forte chaleur

(Translated by Google) Ideal location for very clean and pleasant apartments. Very friendly welcome. Excellent value for money. The ideal is to have the rooms overlooking the courtyard. The street itself doesn't have too many noisy businesses but on Saturdays people can walk around and make a little noise. (Original) Emplacement idéal pour des appartements très propres et agréables. Accueil très sympathique. Excellent rapport qualité prix. L'idéal est d'avoir les chambres sur cour. La rue en tant que telle n'a pas trop de commerces bruyants mais le samedi des gens peuvent circuler et faire un peu de bruit.

(Translated by Google) We'll come back! Great location, friendly staff (Original) On reviendra ! Emplacement top personnel sympa

(Translated by Google) Nice apartment, lack of storage in the bedrooms. (Original) Joli appartement ,manque des rangements dans les chambres .

An absolute must-see in Marseille! The panoramic view from the top is breathtaking—offering a stunning 360° look over the city, sea, and surrounding hills. The basilica itself is beautiful, rich in history and architectural detail. Reaching the top can be a bit of a climb, but it’s well worth the effort. Whether you're religious or not, the atmosphere is peaceful and inspiring. Ideal for reflection, photography, or simply enjoying the view. A highlight of any trip to Marseille.

Notre-Dame de la Garde is definitely a must-see in Marseille. The cathedral itself is stunning, and the panoramic views over the city are breathtaking, especially at sunset – it’s truly magical. The only downside was that I couldn’t pay in cash to enter the museum, which was a bit inconvenient. Otherwise, it was an amazing experience.

Quite a walk from the train station; the uphill climb is a duzy; my hubby is 70 and I'm 64. We made it , but it's a workout. The outside is being restored, so there were several places we couldn't go. Great views.

Stunning basilica at the top of the hill overlooking Marseille. The church itself has a beautiful design with lots of mosaics and stripes columns inside. That is already enough on its own but the views from the outside are simply awe-inspiring. 360 degree views around. Don't miss this if in Marseille.

The Castle on the top of the hill is famous in its own right. Definitely must see when visiting Mercedes. Amazing history. It is a tough walk. If you’re gonna come all the way up the mountain to see this monument as opposed to having a car drive up or one of the electric scooters or vehicles otherwise. Would definitely recommend paying a visit as the expansive 360° views of the city and Port are amazing.

Is a must-see for its incredible architecture and the breathtaking 360-degree views of Marseille. The small museum is interesting but quite brief, and most of the texts are in French. So, while the museum might be a quick stop, the basilica and the stunning panorama are truly unforgettable.

Fantastic place to look out over the city. The church itself is also pretty, if you’re into that. It was a steep climb for us, up many steps, but worth it for the view! Very popular with tourists

A great experience walking through the Château. We received a guided pamphlet that explained every room in concise detail. We also were lucky enough to view a very talented young man playing a piano in the theatre room which was a treat! Definitely worth the 8 euros!

This is such a beautiful and authentic part of the South of France experience, there was a lot of beautiful architecture and landscape in which this made it on of our highlights of the trip, we say. It is a great experience walking around the grounds, olive groves and down through the town because it wasn't too busy when we visited so it was relaxing and the quietest place we visited whilst in the South of France! There were a lot of mosquitos so be aware when you're at the chateau but that didn't dull our experiences. You must stop by!!

SO COOL. The town is also gorgeous and has lots of great cafes to hang in. The Chateau is very neat and has a great self-guided tour. The drive here is also beautiful

Beautiful castle in the heart of Lourmarin, definitely worth a visit. We especially loved the library and the views overlooking the field and village.

Nice little castle (in comparisons to others of course). Not sure if worth the detour unless you are really in town and don't have anything to do.

We did a quick visit while our day tour was stopped in Lourmarin. Definitely worth the price of admission. The flowers were spectacular and the different rooms inside are well preserved and furnished.

Cool chateau, in a very nice town. The ticket is kinda pricy for what’s offer tho

The building itself, it's architecture, the views of Marseille all around is very beautiful and impressive. That was actually the highlight of our visit. We saw three exhibitions. "The Mediterranean", which was the most interesting,"read the sky" was nice. and "the popular" was a bit too eclectic and average.

This multi floor museum presents items and histories of Mediterranean cultures. Beyond Europe it particularly emphasizes Egypt and Tunisia. These respectively seem to be the most acceptable antique culture to Europeans and the place where France had the most headline making colonial history in the decades before the museum's construction. The displays smack of guilt. The supplemental exhibits focusing on similarities among cultures, in astrology or pottery for example, present insightful comparisons and fascinating example objects. The museum will probably never run out of topics for comparative exhibits (cooking, gardening, print making, etc), so living nearby and being able to see them all is enviable. The museum's ground and top floors both feature cafes, and there is an entertaining gift shop at bottom. The adjoining fort has been redeveloped into gardens and art displays. A walk along the ramparts provides wonderful views of the city and harbor.

The MuCEM in Marseille is a must-visit! The Don Quixote exhibition is full of imagination, but the most fascinating part for me was exploring the ancient astrology and fortune telling documents, a real treat if you love history and cosmic curiosities. Besides the rooftop café is perfect for reading a book, enjoying the sunshine, and sipping coffee with sea views. Highly recommend taking time to explore every floor… building itself is beautifully designed!

This is definitely a must-do if you have time in Marseille, very interesting and well-thought out displays that were fun to go through, there were also explanations in English which helped. Going across the Sky Bridge and exploring the exhibitions and fort area was another bonus. Allow 2-3 hours at least!

Been here twice. Once in Jun 2019, another recently on 15 Oct 2025. The amount of signages to help guide you TO the Mucem entrance for typical visitors is zero. You spend 20min walking via the piazza at ground level to the museum entrance facing the sea, bam, the entrance sign says priority entrance for kids only. You gotta walk backwards to the cliff/rock to the entrance at the Vieux Port (series of staircases) to cross the giant metal bridges. Only then can you enter. Or so we were told on that Wednesday on 15 Oct 2025. There is also no way of telling if an exhibit is free to enter unless you beat the queue to ask a simple question.

Architecturaly marvelous museum when you're looking the outside of the building, but a bit confusing interior with couple of permanent exhibitions. We had a pleasure to visit 4 of the exhibitions that were presented inside but to be honest long waiting in line to get inside and a bit confusing space kind of affected the overall expirience. Staff is pleasant, but not uniformed so it can be a bit confusing for visitors in case they want to ask something. You get some sprt of stamp on your clothes, even dough you bought the ticket and went threw the checks. It seems like there is a lot less people leaving the exhibitions then entering the space where they are curated. The Mediterranean civilizations is one of the permanent exhibitions, so you will have a chance to see even ancient Greek colonnades inside, as well as couple of well kept sculptures. There is a super sweet restaurant on top floor amd a bridge that is connecting Mucem museum and the fortress Saint Jain. It's one of the city's well known locations so you won't regret if you decide to visit it, but my overall expirience mostly because of a bit chaotic crowd inside is for a 3-star rating.

Masterpiece of post modern architecture and wonderful exhibition spaces. I spent a whole day on Fort St Jean and MUCEM. The current exhibitions are quite diverse and well worth the price of entry. If you just want the sightseeing it's free.

Excellent zoo for a day out with the kids/family. We really enjoyed the bird show (be on time) and our kid loved the playground situated in the center of the park. We went on a weekday in the middle of the holiday period and it was not crowded at all. Prices are normal for a zoo of this size

Perfect zoo for a family, need 4-6 hours for a full cycle, many onsite activities with the kids..

Very cool, had great play structures and a zip line our kids loved, even a splash pad in the middle of the zoo, lots of cool animals to see. We really liked seeing the rhinos and hippos and elephants and giraffes!

I started off in the reptile building and was surprised all of the plants inside their enclosures were not real. How much effort would it take to maintain real plants and add to the reptiles air quality? The rest of the zoo was impressive.

we visited the Barnes zoo with our granddaughter on a very hot day. However, the shade trees allowed us to remain refreshed by the breeze on this beautiful plateau in Provence. A wonderful assessment of wild animals, reptiles and various birds...so much for just one visit. The animations at selected animal locations during the day were interesting and educational for children of all ages. Bravo to each animator! we attended the Saïmiri and elephant presentations. The play park was fun and diverse as well as the overall quality of construction very satisfying. We also found the price of admission and the prices of food and drinks quite reasonable. a very impressive visit for us so hats off to those of the Barbens parc animalier!!

A fantastic day out with the kids awaits at Zoo de La Barben! This is an excellent choice for a family trip, offering a clean and enjoyable environment. You'll find a great playground right in the middle of the zoo, perfect for letting the kids burn off some energy. While the food options on-site are limited, what's available is tasty. All in all, it’s a wonderful place to spend a day and make some lasting memories.

Amazing zoo on a big rock, lots of space for animals and people with 180 degree views, and we saw so many fabulous animals and birds…best ever

Love this park for short hikes! Our dog loves it here. In the main park, there are more people, there’s picnic places, horse stables, etc. But if you go a bit further into the sea side, less people and really a good place to do a leisure hike. :)

Huge park to enjoy your day outdoors, bathrooms, a beach hidden spot, very good restaurant with excellent prices

Beautiful

The is games. A farm. Tree climbing facility. Trampolines.... It s a nice area to go in family with kids. The area is beautiful too so recommended on a lazy Sunday.

Boring too hot park of nothing special, yeah see some boring horses and ponys which are dressed to ride with children. The only useful thing is the carousel for children.

Nice park with a nice playground for kids.

nice park
