Hidden Gem of the French Riviera: Cable Cars, Coastal Views & Mt. Faron

Toulon sits on the French Riviera, yet it holds a distinctly different identity than its neighbors like Cannes or Nice. The Mediterranean's Only Red Cable CarThe Téléphérique du Mont Faron is the only aerial cable car along the entire Mediterranean coastline. The bright red cabins whisk visitors up Mount Faron in about six minutes, rising 584 meters above sea level to reveal dynamic, panoramic views of the entire bay. Home to Europe’s Most Powerful Fleet Toulon houses the primary base of the French Navy (Arsenal de Toulon). It is the home port for over 60% of France's naval fleet, including nuclear attack submarines and France's flagship nuclear aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle.
