Château de Lourmarin

It would be very hard unless the chateau was unexpectedly closed or someone had some unusual experience whilst there to not score the chateau as ‘excellent’ and five stars. Great explanations of everything in English as well as in French and a superb 60 - 90 minutes. Fascinating and informative and beautiful
Damian M — Google review
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!
Brena J — Google review
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!!
Maya — Google review
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

Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations

Mentioned on 
+75 other lists 
Museum
Art Museums
Mucem - Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean is a striking venue that opened in 2013, offering captivating exhibitions on the history and cultures of the Mediterranean region. The museum's contemporary architecture provides stunning sea views and houses world-class exhibits showcasing the intriguing stories behind European and Mediterranean civilizations. Its vast collection includes Neolithic and contemporary art, football memorabilia, graffiti, antique tarot cards, sound recordings, and unique artifacts like mermaid-shaped bread.
An incredibly located museum of Mediterranean cultures lets you discover them from a very interesting perspective. The temporary exhibitions are very good. The building is new, but connected by a bridge to an old fort, which adds to the experience. Marseille and its amazing charm can become a bit more understandable after a visit to this museum. The café in the fort is also worth recommending. It’s worth stopping by the gift shop — wonderful selections, especially in the book section, as well as beautiful handicrafts.
Ra — Google review
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.
Najah A — Google review
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.
Josh — Google review
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!
Mine I — Google review
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!
Eileen W — Google review
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.
Gaius L — Google review
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.
Ivana O — Google review
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.

Notre-Dame de la Garde

Mentioned on 
+139 other lists 
Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Basilica of Notre-Dame-of-la-Garde at Marseille is a grand basilica located at the city's highest point, featuring a golden statue of the Virgin Mary by Lequesne. For those seeking a luxurious stay, there are options like the InterContinental Marseille and Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port with breathtaking views of the Old Port. Alternatively, visitors can opt for boutique accommodations such as Le Petit Nice Passedat or C2 Hotel for a more intimate experience.
The cathedral sits at the highest hill and point in the city. Multiple levels with a restaurant and cafe. The interior is beautifully designed with intricate details. The outside areas and decks of the cathedral offer panoramic views of Marseille, the Mediterranean Sea, and the surrounding landscape, and can clearly see Chateau D'if in the distance. There was construction 🚧 going on at the time we visited as well. A must visit for Marseilles, as it is the main attraction in the city and best part free entry.
Drew W — Google review
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.
Ilox — Google review
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.
Youcef G — Google review
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.
Doreen V — Google review
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.
James — Google review
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.
Christopher N — Google review
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.
Víctor S — Google review
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

Temporarily Closed
Hiking area
Nature & Parks
The Provençal Colorado, located near the village of Rustrel in the heart of Luberon, offers a unique desert landscape with yellow and red rock formations that were once ocher-mining quarries. The area's fiery red and orange landscape resembles the Grand Canyon and was shaped by years of mining ochre deposits. This former quarry is renowned for its mineral riches and features canyons, valleys, hills, and sculptural rock formations like the Fairy Chimney.
Lovely place to visit. Not crowded at all. Beautiful colours every corner of the walk. You can see all the main points on the short walk but if I was you the best option is to do the long one. Same price and more nice thinks to see. The tickets are per car and not per person that is really good. Not expensive for what you can see and do. Dogs friendly.
Miguel M — Google review
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.M C — Google review
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..
Lucinda H — Google review
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.

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.

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.

The Musée du Vieil-Aix is located in a 17th-century mansion and offers a glimpse into the history and evolution of Aix-en-Provence. Visitors can explore period furnishings, paintings, pottery, costumes, and figurines that reflect the traditions of old Aix. The museum also features wooden puppets in a 'talking crib' and screens used in Aix's annual Fete-Dieu celebrations.
I enjoyed this museum! 4€ for people above 26 and a nice thing to do while in Aix. The museum has a wonderful collection of art made by the owners
Claudia M — Google review
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.
James P — Google review
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 😂
H S — Google review
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!

A tree-lined boulevard in Aix, Cours Mirabeau is celebrated for its restaurants and fountains. It's ideally situated to enjoy the works of Paul Cezannes, as his parents worked on the street in a former hat shop. The wide thoroughfare is popular with shoppers and tourists alike, who can take a stroll to imagine what it was like to walk the same streets as Cezanne himself.

Hôtel de Caumont

Art center
Museums
Hôtel de Caumont is an elegant 18th-century mansion located in the Mazarin neighborhood of Aix-en-Provence, known for its art exhibitions, courtyard gardens, and a charming café. The mansion showcases Parisian influences and represents a beautiful illustration of French architecture from that era. It follows an architectural design that emphasizes the interplay between courtyard and garden, creating a harmonious urban oasis.
This place is truly unique, with its architecture, art-filled ambiance, elegant décor, and stylish furniture, as well as its beautiful garden. We had a wonderful time sitting in the garden section of the restaurant, enjoying our coffee and delicious dessert in a refined atmosphere with excellent service. If you’re a tourist in the city like us, this is a must-visit spot—you might even come across an art exhibition!

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.

Parc national des Calanques

National park
Nature & Parks
Wildlife refuge
Parc national des Calanques, established in 2012, is a stunning natural reserve located in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region. Encompassing both land and sea areas, it spans over 8,500 hectares of land across Marseille, Cassis, and La Ciotat, along with 43,500 hectares of marine territory. This park boasts remarkable biodiversity with numerous protected terrestrial and marine species.
I can highly recommend climbing the Massif Marseilleveyre if you're into hiking. Steep climb, but astounding views of virtually the entirety of Marseille and surrounding Calanque. The unique limestone landscape was really cool, great for photography
Peter N — Google review
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.
Paul A — Google review
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.
Gabriel F — Google review
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.

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!!

Really lovely amusement park, not overcrowded and perfect for kids ages 3 to 12. All three of my daughters were busy for 5 hours therefore the price was absolutely justified. The staff is incredibly nice and put on the merry go round even for just one kid. The lovely man at La Chenille was very nice to all the kids and looked after the ones going on the ride without their parents. All in all we had a great day and even as a mum on a trip alone with three kids there is a lot of relaxation and fun possible here.

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 ;)

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.

Audric-Jai C — Google review
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 atmosphere is lively and immersive, with cowboy-style decor and activities that engage visitors of all ages.

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.

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?

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.

Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine is a Catholic basilica located in the small town of St-Maximin-la-Ste-Baume in central Var department, France. It was constructed over three centuries from the 13th to the 16th and houses historic organs and relics of Mary Magdalene. The basilica is well-preserved and worth visiting for its historical and aesthetic value, offering free entry even to the crypt during low season.
A hidden gem. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but this basilique is among the best in France. Incredible architecture, powerful organ, and beautiful art. The crypt of Mary Magdalene is beneath the church and there is an entrance accessible from inside

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!

Rade de Toulon, located on the French Riviera, offers a blend of small-town charm and natural beauty. The city's vast natural harbor provides stunning views of Mont Faron, which can be reached by a quick cable car ride. Visitors can explore the military harbor through guided tours or opt for a more budget-friendly ferry ride to La Seyne for sightseeing.

Florian K — Google review
(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.

Toulon Cable Car Mt Faron

Mentioned on

Temporarily Closed
Mountain cable car
Transportation
The Téléphérique du Mont Faron is an exhilarating cable car experience that takes you soaring to a height of 584 meters, offering stunning views of Toulon and the Mediterranean coastline. This modernized attraction features spacious cabins with large windows and even glass floors for an unforgettable ride. The ascent lasts just under six minutes, making it a quick yet breathtaking journey.
We visited during the shoulder season and practically had the place to ourselves — no lines at all, which made the experience even better. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative, taking the time to explain the route and sights. The ride up offers beautiful views of Toulon and the coastline. We didn’t spend a ton of time at the top since we were just passing through, but we enjoyed walking around the war memorial and taking in the scenery. Watching rock climbers scaling the cliffs was a nice surprise. Definitely worth the ride if you’re in the area — I imagine it gets crowded in peak season, but we loved the peaceful experience.
Kelly B — Google review
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.
Dorge R — Google review
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.
Stuarty B — Google review
Definitely worth the trip up! I recommend combining it with full day transit pass for 10€. You can ride unlimited busses, ferry to Les Sablettes, plus the gondola to Mont Farron. What a great visit. Give yourself a few hours on the top if you want to explore some of the father away view points by hiking.
Hymee B — Google review
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.
Jevgenia V — Google review
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.
Mikko N — Google review
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

Museum of Prehistory of the Gorges du Verdon

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Museum of Prehistory of the Gorges du Verdon, designed by architect Norman Foster, houses impressive archaeological artifacts and prehistoric exhibits that provide visitors with an in-depth understanding of the surrounding nature reserve. It is a must-visit destination for those interested in the Verdon canyon area. The permanent exhibit is elegantly laid out and highly recommended to explore with headphones available in several languages at no extra cost. This museum is an excellent educational experience for both children and adults alike.
Reading the reviews I feel like many people went somewhere else!! Well laid out, lots of info and truly interesting for the amateur archeo - there was also many lifelike displays, a fantastic film show and many different formats. Downstairs was a whole area about dinosaurs obviously curated with kids in mind… A brilliant place to visit - especially as there is an outdoor exhibition of prehistoric building styles ( free) as well!!

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.
Petra K — Google review
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!
TOM H — Google review
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.

Lake of Sainte-Croix

Mentioned on 
+37 other lists 
Lake
Nature & Parks
Lake of Sainte-Croix is a manmade lake surrounded by several villages offering dining, boat rentals, and beaches. Aiguines, with its stunning view of the lake and Valensole plateau, is a medieval village known for wood turning. It's an ideal spot for hiking, whitewater sports, or simply relaxing on a pebble beach. The commune covers a wide area including the Verdon National Park and the Gorges de Verdon canyons.
We arrived on a really rainy day, but the landlord was super kind. The room was clean, the view was great, and the decorations were lovely—you could tell they have excellent taste. Plus, the view during breakfast was amazing!

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.

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
Kristy M — Google review
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.

Abbaye du Thoronet

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Abbey
Sights & Landmarks
Abbaye du Thoronet, part of the trio of great Provencal Cistercian abbeys, is a masterpiece of sacred architecture. Built between 1160 and 1190, it stands out for its ultra-austere style with pure proportions and perfectly dressed stone. The abbey's well-preserved cellar showcases the original equipment used by monks to make wine and olive oil. Visitors can easily imagine the strict lives led by the monks within its walls.
I really enjoyed my visit. It’s in a very special place in amongst the lovely wooded hills of the Var. I didn’t mind paying the entrance fee because how much would it cost to maintain these sort of buildings and repair them! It was lovely to walk around and soak in the atmosphere. There’s also a lovely cafe just outside at run by a lovely mother and his son And there was good spots for us to park our bicycles.
Lucinda H — Google review
To me there was almost no the spirit- they made it like museum and take 9 euro for the entrance. Disapointed.
Dmitry N — Google review
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.
Jeanie M — Google review
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
Dominykas — Google review
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.
Michael M — Google review
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.

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.

It's located just 20 minutes from Bormes-les-Mimosas and features two restaurants, picnic tables, and nearby parking under the shade of pine trees. The beach gradually slopes into the sea, making it ideal for families with children. Visitors can also explore the area's natural beauty by trekking or cycling through the nearby vineyards and forests.
Most beautiful place in zone, clean, must be visiting!
M G — Google review
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.
Dott. Z — Google review
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.

Highly recommended for families with kids. Make sure to get there early as it gets busy very quickly.

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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Chapel
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Le Roc au Serre and the chapel Notre-Dame du Roc is a must-visit destination in Castellane, offering breathtaking views and a charming chapel perched atop the rock. The hike up the Chemin du Roc to the chapel provides amazing panoramic views and is worth the effort for any fit and capable walker. Families with young children can also create unforgettable memories by exploring Castellane with Les Anes du Verdon, who offer donkey crossings.
An amazing place. If you are ever close to Castellane an can set aside at least one day the town is worth a visit. If you are fit enough, capable of walking at least 2 miles with a steep gradient most of the way the walk up the Chemin du Roc to the Chapelle Notre Dame du Roc has some amazing views in all directions, once at the top the views are awesome. To top it all is a beautiful chapel perched atop the rock. Very much worth the effort.

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.

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.

Grotte de Saint Cézaire

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Natural history museum
Nature & Parks
Grotte de Saint Cézaire is a stunning cave system filled with intricate stalagmites and stalactites, offering guided tours that showcase its celebrated cave, dolmens, and barrows. The 40-minute exploration of this underground world provides a glimpse into its Roman and medieval past. The tour is informative and suitable for all ages, with the temperature inside remaining constant at 15 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
This is such a cool (both in vibes and temperature!) place to visit if you're within a 90-120 minute drive, especially since the Grotte in Monaco was/is closed. The drop from 37°C to around 17°C as you descend deeper into the caves brings instant relief and calm, particularly on a sweltering Summer or early Autumn day. The way the lighting gently illuminates the stalactites and stalagmites really enhances the beauty of these ancient formations. The rock formations look like something out of a fantasy world, with jagged, towering stalagmites rising from the ground and delicate stalactites hanging like icicles from the ceiling. The ambient lighting also makes the cave feel more expansive and reduces any potential feelings of claustrophobia by adding depth and dimension to the space—though I personally can’t vouch for this as I don’t experience it! It's a great spot to visit with friends, your partner, or the kids. Plus, there's a fun little gift shop to explore and a simple but decent restaurant/café just outside for a nice break after your tour.
Philip K — Google review
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 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!

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.

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.
