Toulon is the capital city of the Var department and the French Navy’s biggest port of the Mediterranean, but it is not of great interest, although, it has a nice old town, La Cité, with its labyrinth of winding streets and alleys. The greatest sight, the fort, Tour Beaumont, can be found out of town, on top of the mountain le Faron. A cable car goes up the mountain from the suburb Super Toulon.
