Toulon Shore Excursions
The Pearl of Provence
If your cruise ship arrives in Toulon, you have an amazing chance to explore the most picturesque places in Provence. We invite you to take a drive from Toulon to Aix-en-Provence and its surroundings, or to Marseille.
Aix-en-Provence is world famous as the late home of impressionist artist Cezanne, who found the peaceful landscape of the historical capital of Provence extremely inspiring. The place also has plenty of sights connected to the Jewish past and present of the region, including a modern Synagogue and Jewish Community Centre. Depending on your interests, our guides will focus either on Jewish or on general aspects of Aix-en-Provence’s history – or equally on both of them!
On the tour to Aix-en-Provence, you will also visit the Sainte-Victoire Mountain, one of the most breathtaking natural sights in France, as well as the small town of Cassis.
On the Jewish Provence tour, you will learn about the medieval Jewish community that gave the world multiple famous rabbis and Jewish scholars. This driving tour will take you to several charming villages and towns where you will enjoy striking views, as well as deepen your knowledge about French Jewry.
Besides these options, you can also travel with us to the vibrant city of Marseille and explore its rich history and culture.
