The splendours of the Upper Town of Toulon

The Upper Town is a must in Toulon. Built north of Boulevard Louis-Napoléon, today Boulevard de Strasbourg, it is the symbol of the opulence that characterized the city in the second half of the 19th century: opera house, imperial high school, chamber of commerce, art museum. Discover thanks to your guide the architectural development of the district, which was bombarded during the Second World War; as well as its very recent history, with the Chalucet eco-district, which reflects the new urban dynamic at work in the city: renovating buildings by integrating an environmental approach.
