Tips for Toulon

Here are a few tips for your stop in Toulon. We docked at Seyne. When you exit the ship there is tourist office a few meters away. They speak English. If you want to go to the beach, there is Plage des Sablettes which is beautiful and not very far. Do not take the ship excursion (over $40 each) or a cab. The Rouve bus stop is a 2 minute walk (ask the agent in the Tourist office). The fare is 1.40Euro. It's a 7 minute bus ride. The bus is airconditioned, the driver will give you change and each stop is announced. It's 13 stops to Sablettes. Once at Sablettes, it's 30 second walk to the beach (opposite the open sea side). There are restaurants along the beach. You can also rent umbrellas. We had a great time. Enjoy.

thanks so much for the information
