Port summary

Ships dock on the central quay in La Seyne-sur-Mer, across the bay from Toulon. The signature move is the Réseau Mistral bateau-bus (line 8M), which crosses to Toulon's old town in about 15 minutes; buses, taxis and coastal trains reach Sanary, Bandol and Hyères. Little world-famous sits in La Seyne itself, but Toulon's market, naval museum and the Mont Faron cable car make a full, inexpensive DIY day.
