Our advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As you stroll along, don’t miss the cade caravan located at the bottom of the market, on Place Louis Blanc. Cade, Toulon’s specialty, is a delicious chickpea flour cake cooked over a wood fire. It’s ideal as an aperitif, or if you feel peckish while strolling through the market. LEARN MORE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Toulon’s art of living<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You arrive at the market via Place Louis Blanc, bathed in sunshine. At the foot of Saint-Fran\u00e7ois-de-Paule church, linger in the colorful flower-bed and take a first look at the clothing market. The atmosphere is friendly and you won’t be able to resist tasting a little cade: to know the city is also to enjoy tasting its specialties. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A feast for the eyes and taste buds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Continue your stroll along the shady lanes of Cours Lafayette. You won’t know where to turn: all around you, stalls overflow with fruit and vegetables, olives, cheeses and charcuterie, fresh fish and spices… As the seasons go by, the market is a feast for the eyes, its mouth-watering scents an intoxicating pleasure. The growers and retailers always have a friendly word for you, and you’ll smile to hear them joking and calling out to passers-by with that southern accent that’s so exotic. Following on from Cours Lafayette, stroll along the small Cours Lendrin and end your stroll at the – equally appetizing – local farmers’ market. Take a break, the fishmonger’s terrace is waiting for you: this lunchtime in the heart of Toulon, you’ll enjoy grilled fish and the happiness of the moment. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n
