La Seyne, a city of many faces <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nestled between the Toulon harbor<\/a> and the Mediterranean, La Seyne-sur-Mer combines tradition and modernity. Alongside the old Proven\u00e7al-style town center, the harbor, looking to the future, preserves the traces of a rich naval past. On the corniche, the Tamaris district<\/a>, designed by Michel Pacha, an enthusiast of orientalism, transports you to a magnificent bay with an air of the Bosphorus. On the south side, the fine sandy beach of Les Sablettes <\/a>faces the mythical Deux Fr\u00e8res rocks off the Cap Sici\u00e9 massif<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Towards the sea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La Seyne-sur-Mer is a multi-faceted city, immersing you in pages of powerful history. Southern, naval, natural, urban: La Seyne is rich in personality. The town center has preserved its Provencal identity, with its colorful facades and daily market. A shipbuilding site for more than 500 years, the town has preserved a number of testimonial buildings, including the Pont Levant<\/a>. From its 40-metre height, you can take in the city, port and harbour of Toulon. During your visit, you’re bound to be struck by the street art that adorns the city walls. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The coastal path from La Verne to Notre-Dame-du-Mai<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is undoubtedly one of the most impressive viewpoints in the Provence-Mediterranean region. From the coves of Marseille to the \u00celes d’Or, from the Sainte-Baume massif to the harbour of Toulon<\/g>, nature has created a composition worthy of an Impressionist painter’s palette: the grey of the sand in the wild creeks, the green monochrome of the vegetation and the blue gradation of the Mediterranean Sea. The highest point of the walk, the Notre-Dame-du-Mai chapel<\/a>, gives you the full benefit of this prodigious view. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Villa Tamaris<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Built at the end of the 19th century by Michel Pacha, the villa’s cubic floor plan, large openings and terraces with balusters are reminiscent of the Tuscan style. Rehabilitated by the city in 1995, the Villa Tamaris is a reference site for the visual arts in Provence-Mediterranean region. Each visit transports you into a world of images that leaves no one indifferent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
