Téléphérique du Faron

It’s easy to see why this cable car ride up to Mount Faron is one of Toulon’s main attractions. Inaugurated in July 1959, the iconic red car transports tens of thousands of visitors to 584 metres of altitude each year, with the final view being a breathtaking panorama of Toulon and the Mediterranean Sea beyond. The shuttle departs every 10 minutes, is free for under fours and prices start at a reasonable €5.50. There are hiking trails all over Mount Faron, so once at the top, why not pick one up for a more leisurely wander.
