There’s nothing like witnessing the sunrise during a morning run along the promenade. Ending the run by dipping my feet in the sea and listening to the waves and birds is a truly wonderful way to begin the day. It's a perfect moment of peace and connection with nature!

Beautiful pebble beach with public shower options

Great views of the bay and the city. The promenade is apparently over 7 kilometers long and offers lovely views of the water and the city. You can also get a great view of planes taking off to land and coming in at Nice airport! With so much seating available it is a fantastic spot to park up with some takeaway food and watch the world go by. It can be especially pretty at sunset. If you are visiting Nice you will probably walk along here a bunch of times

Wide, wonderful, paved walking path between the town and the sea. Sit in one of the famous blue chairs to watch the waves and the beach scene. It's an enjoyable stroll at any time of day.

Great for walking, jogging, people watching. Mostly crowded. Sunsets can be beautiful 🌇

Nice is a very beautiful city. I could not have enough of it. The clear blue water and the buildings are just breathe taking. Even from the airplane I could see the blue color of the sea. This city should be seen on feet, walking around is the best to see its beauty. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the long beach. It was difficult to walk with my feet in the water because it was a stone beach not sand one.

Every visitor to Nice must visit here. The sun and beach, this is Mediterranean life.

It was a very nice place to relax, conveniently close to the airport, which made it perfect for us to stop by since we arrived earlier than our apartment check-in time. The staff were friendly, and the plants and park area created a pleasant atmosphere to sit and have something to eat. On the other hand, there aren’t many things to see, and I found it a bit strange to notice rats roaming around. With some improvements, the place could be even better.

Phoenix Park is a wonderful park where families love to meet to explore the many rare species of animals and plants that amaze children and their parents. The place is beautiful and has a dining area that offers various types, the entrance ticket is cheap, the organization is excellent

A fun mix of zoo and park – great for families Parc Phoenix is a lovely place to spend a few hours, especially if you’re visiting with kids. It’s a mix between a park and a small zoo, with a good variety of animals including ostriches, peacocks, ducks, and wallabies. There’s also a playground for children and even a climbing wall, which adds a bit of extra fun. We appreciated the snack shack for quick bites, and the location is very convenient—right next to the airport. The entry price was very fair for what you get. When we visited, it was quite hot, so exploring for long periods was a bit challenging, but overall, it’s a nice, family-friendly spot with plenty to see and do.

Parc Phoenix in Nice is truly one of the best destinations for a fun and educational family outing. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, the park offers a wonderful blend of indoor and outdoor experiences that appeal to both kids and adults. With lush botanical gardens, exotic plants, and a variety of animals including flamingos, turtles, and wallabies, there’s plenty to explore and enjoy. Children will especially love the interactive zones and wide open spaces to run and play, while parents can relax in the beautiful picnic areas under the open sky. The park is well-maintained, clean, and safe, making it ideal for a full-day visit. It’s a perfect mix of nature and leisure where families can bond while learning about biodiversity. What makes it even more appealing is how affordable it is. Entry is pocket-friendly, and for residents of Nice, it’s completely free during the first weekend of each month—a great initiative that encourages community engagement and regular visits. The park is easy to reach, close to the airport, and also has indoor areas, making it a suitable destination year-round. Overall, Parc Phoenix is a hidden gem in Nice, perfect for nature lovers and families seeking a relaxing and enriching day out. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape with kids or simply a charming day in nature.

It is worth visiting parc Phoenix. The park has great collection of plants from different parts of world. Plants are very healthy. It has some birds and animals too. I will highly recommend this wonderful place if you are visiting Nice.

Animals are treated well in this park and it really shows. Flamingos are really cool 🩷🦩 and the tortoises are huge if you do have 3 hrs of spare time before your flight Nice you should really check it out. And they serve pretty good breakfast options as pantries better than the airport food I promise.

The park has a lot of potential but needs some serious attention. It was confusing to navigate, as there were hardly any directions or staff around to help. We were looking forward to a relaxing day, but a simple rule about no scooters became a huge hassle when the staff wouldn't store it for us, forcing us to go all the way to a different storage area. On a positive note, the small cafe and the shaded seating were great for escaping the heat with an ice lolly. This place could be a great tourist attraction, but it needs a lot of improvement and better management.

Very nice street with shops and restaurants 😃

One of the most beautiful cities in Europe that I have visited. It really exudes unusual beauty and romance. The buildings are beautiful and I really like that kind of architecture. Along the coast of Cannes, there are beaches along almost the entire length. They are very clean and it is a real pleasure to swim. Lots of restaurants for every taste and pocket. And of course La Croisette! Beautiful! I will be happy to visit Cannes again!

Quiet off season. Nice for a walk and a wonderful view.

The street you can find all very fine brands

Popularly known as Palais des Festivals et des Congres", La Croisette is about 22 km long promenade in Cannes along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea where the Cannes Film Festival is held. There is a sidewalk with hotels, casinos, brand stores, a rose garden and places with lots of shady trees where families meet and spend their quality time. There are interesting places around this place to stroll and explore. If you are falling short of time or do not have energy for a walk, then one can enjoy a small touristic city train tour to explore the nearby area. The place is dynamic with lots of hustle bustle of the tourists and locals. The evening sunsets and the night illuminations and combined with festive fireworks make this place truly romantic and mesmerizing. A must to visit when you are in France.

Luxury boulevard of Cannes, beautiful beach clubs/ restaurants, luxury shops.. it has also the top rated restaurants.. only that its extremely crowded.. so its not the right place to relax and enjoy the sea view.

Lovely promenade by the sea. How much I love this city! 🤩🤩🤩

Citadelle d'Entrevaux is a captivating historical gem! The medieval fortress offers breathtaking views, intriguing architecture, and a step back in time. A must-visit for history enthusiasts, surrounded by stunning landscapes.

I loved seeing the old citadel le and imagining how difficult it must have to live there. Cost 3€ for adults. The views from the top down the valley were amazing.

Quaint medieval town - tough climb up to the citadel but its worth it for the panoramic views of the town and the surrounding area.

A stiff walk from the town is very worthwhile . This fortress, typical of Vauban, is definitely a must visit when in Provence. The history dates from 1690 when it was built to the beginning of the twentieth century when it was used in WW1 to house German POWs. The views are also exceptional and worth the climb just for the scenery.

From the gate to the top you can do it in 20-30 mins. You get a great view.

Beautiful medieval village. Must visit.

A pleasant hike and view. But beware the pay-as-you-go gate, which doesn’t always function properly and may accept your €3 without opening. The tourist office at the city gate will not give you a refund. This should change.

Home to some interesting underground features, and the guide truly does it justice. Humour, kindness with the kids, a great educational experience! If you're used to caves though this one probably won't fare as the best you've seen. The tour lasts about 40 mins.

It was a great Tour with a great Tour guide. It's a small place but also a beautiful one. For us it was awesome. Thanks for the cool day.

Blown away! This was my first experience in a cave but it was incredible. The history behind it was fascinating. The tour guide Tom was super friendly and patient. Highly recommend.

Great visit. Lots of interesting lessons to be learned. Our tour guide was great. Took effort to show our 3 year old extra things and have a shot with the torch.

We visited on a Sunday in February and it was a great time to go. Only a handful of people were on the French/English tour. The guide was approx 45 mins while we winded through the cave passages. It was well done, lots of interesting information along the way. Be careful as it can get slippery and there are some low parts that you need to crouch down. Not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. 15 degrees no matter what season. A lovely shop at the entrance to purchase souvenirs. Well worth a visit especially for children, it was such a great experience!

A very nice visit with a great and knowledgeable guide who spoke both french and english. Didnt buy tickets in advance but if you plan to visit that might be advised especially on weekends

Beautiful jewel of an afternoon out. I would suggest trainers for this 40 minute exploration of a grotto to discover a secret underground world. The tour is about 40 minutes and is in groups of around 10. The history of the formations is fascinating and the kids loved it. The Nex door there is an accrobranche zip line facility which the kids would like, but it was raining on our visit. Drive up to St Cezaire is beautiful also and there is free parking on site. Well worth a visit.

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!

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

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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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%.

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. 💖✨️

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.

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.

Great spot to swim, the hike down was not super long, however make sure you have shoes with a grip as the rocks climbing down are very smooth and slippery! There was a part near the beach with a chain/rope to help climb down the steep spot. Water is very salty but not cold. Lovely dock area at the beach,

One of the most popular hikes in the calanques links two of the biggest - Sormiou and Morgiou - with the climb over the Crete de Morgiou. Here you can take a pause, enjoy the sun, have a swim or have a lunch or a coffee in the only restaurant - le Bar Nautic. Views are just breathtaking.

The view it’s impressive, the hike was difficult but worth it. Unfortunately we were not prepared with water shoes , so was uncomfortable because of the stones on the beach and in the water . The water was freezing but amazingly clear and clean.

Very beautiful!! Can be a long hike depending on your entrance. Going from Les Baumettes is a nicer hike but longer. There is also a part that is quite steep. Luminy entrance is shorter distance but you don’t see as much on the hike. No reservation needed. Overall, no matter your hiking route it is worth the effort. Water is crystal clear and can be a bit cold but it is just what you want after a sweaty hike.

Amazing views! Trekking shoes are strongly recommended because the path is full of slippery stones and quite steep. But the scenery is definitely worth it. The beach is pretty small and there were many jellyfish in the water today so we didn’t try bathing there.

The small beaches here are great. One of them is with small pebble-stones, the other beach is just stone with pebble entrance to the sea. You have to come early tho, if you want to swim alone. Because of it is small, it gets full quickly. You have to park 3,5 km (car) away from this calanque, only the locals can get through the gates. So you have to walk on partly-walkingroutes that can take up to 30 min (maybe 2,8 km). You have hiking routes that can take you to great spots to take pictures. Tips: Go early Take (light) shoes you can swim with Big bottle of water Shoes for hiking (if you want to hike) Goggles (you can see small fishes swimming around your legs, we saw even an octopus) A bientot !

A very nice Calanque. Beautiful. If you come with your own sailing boat, you are likely to anchor at 15 m dept. In summer there will be many boats at anchor and it can feel crowded. Also during the day there is a continued stream of day tripper boats, which is very annoying. Thus I only give 4 stars.

Amazing hike with rewarding views. There’re many tracks to suit hikers with different fitness levels. You can get here by public transport or catch a ride share which will save you some time. It’s such a nice escape to get some sea breeze and fresh air.

It's a life time experience. You can trek. You can dive or swim or you can enjoy the boat ride. Yeah.. all at a single place with amazing view. It's nothing short of mesmerizing. Great view and great experience

My boyfriend and I did an incredible 17km hiking loop passing through Calanques d’en Vau starting from Cassis (picture attached of our route, listed as a trail running route found on Kamoot). Absolutely stunning hike which is WELL worth the effort! The natural park feels and is completely unspoilt due to no car access etc. A MUST if you are anywhere near this area :)

Nature here is amazing. I had some difficulties to find the right path, without google maps was impossible and not always very clear. However, if you like to walk and/or hike, this place is for you. Cristal water and small beaches, we went end july and not a lot of people. Of course you need to be lucky (like anywhere) that the few people you have are not loud. We took the tellow path. This one is not suitable for kids! But hey, it’s nature!:) A bit sad that in the sea you can se a lot of boats but then the park is closed to the public. Environmentally the impact of boats is way higher then just people walking. However, it was a great experience.

A wonderful place with tracks of various difficulties. Whether it’s a chill walk or an adventurous day you are looking for, les Calanques are the place for you

This is easily one of the coolest parks I've been to. It's absolutely beautiful with plenty of well-marked hiking trails. There's also plenty of climbing areas, some of which require far-from-obvious trails that require scrambling or rappelling at times. Rarely, you'll find chains at the extremely scrambly sections.

At the heart of Merseille, it is both terrestrial and marine: it is the only national park in Europe to be periurban and, in the Mediterranean. It is a nice short escape from busy city life. Get a ticket from Old port. They have 2.15 hours and 3.5 hours two different journey schedule. Ticket cost 32 and 38 euros. If you want swimming or stopping more extra.
