THE BEST thing about a Mediterranean cruise is all the little stops along the way. And while you can book excursions at each port, some of the best days are those where you just roam around on your own and discover.
No. 1 ~ Toulon, France
A town on the French coast and home to a major naval base, old Toulon is part of the Provence region and known for its fountains, narrow streets and famed Provençal market. {we were there on a public holiday so the streets were quiet apart from the market}
The market was bustling and I just loved all of the fresh produce, lavendar, local fabrics and woven market bags. And cute trolleys were everywhere.
Once our senses were tingling with all the delicious smells of the market, we decided to explore the tiny streets around the old town to take in the charming architecture.
Toulon was such a lovely town and I felt like I got a little taste of daily French life of those lucky enough to live in Provence.
next stop ~ Nice, France
