For the best sun, head to Toulon between April and October.
Getting there
Planes
Some European cities have direct flights to Toulon’s Hyères Airport, but most require a connection in Paris. If you’d rather fly direct and don’t mind more of a drive, fly into Nice or Marseille – Nice is just under two hours drive from Toulon and Marseille is a little over an hour.
Trains
If you’re looking for a scenic coastal ride and travelling from London, there’s a train to Marseille via Lille, or the TGV runs from Paris with a stop in Toulon.
Automobiles
A car isn’t necessary, Toulon has a good taxi system (just be sure to book in advance). Those hoping to explore further afield may be more inclined to get a set of wheels, if so there are a number of rental booths at the airport.
