Cruising with Cyn Collection of useless information circuitous to the OPERATION: Poisson Rouge Adventure.
Provence is the last stop on our European adventure. Collective sigh on 3, 1....2...3.
This day next week, I will be [hopefully] completely last minute packing. What will you be doing next Friday?
Ships, ships and more ships. Toulon is France's exciting naval epicenter. Bobbing sailboats dot its busy harbor. On land you'll find tons of maritime museums, ancient fortresses and a fair share of sailors. And in true French fashion you'll also find plenty of stylish spots for shopping and lunching. But what really makes this seaport so special is its proximity to glitzy Saint-Tropez and the Côte d'Azur.
The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss
If you're looking for the perfect photo op, take a cable car to the peak of Mont Faron. After you've soaked up the scenery, visit the Mémorial du Débarquement en Provence, a museum that houses an interesting collection of World War II memorabilia.
Other Fun Things to Do
Catch some Mediterranean sunshine at Plage du Morillon - the seaport's most popular beach. Pop into the Musée de Toulon and ogle its vast collection of Provençal, Italian and religious masterpieces from the 16th century to the present. Take a boat tour around the harbor.
Shopping For Bargains There are plenty of places to shop for designer fashions, fine jewelry and French perfume. You'll even find a three-story mall that has just about everything, including a supermarket and a movie theater.
Blah, Blah, Blah, onto the survey.
See ya fine folks in Provence.
Toulon is going to be a relaxing day -- and remember the ship leaves at 5pm, not 7pm.
