A Tour of Toulon and Other Locations
Toulon will undoubtedly be one of the most prominent cities during these European Heritage Days. There will be numerous activities: from visits to the Art Museum to strolls through the historic center, guided by expert guides. The city’s historic locations, such as the famous Saint-Louis Church and the Fort Saint-Nicolas, will open their doors to showcase the fascinating architecture that adorns the city.
Activities for the Whole Family
These days are not limited to simple visits. Families will be in the spotlight thanks to a specially designed activity program. Children can participate in interactive workshops filled with discoveries. For example, by visiting redeveloped industrial sites like a wastewater treatment plant transformed into a learning space, industrial heritage will be showcased in a fun and educational way.
Itineraries to Explore
The theme of this 41st edition of the European Heritage Days is focused on “the heritage of itineraries.” This will encourage visitors to explore not only iconic buildings but also lesser-known paths that reveal unexplored aspects of the natural and cultural heritage of the Var. Guides will lead you through picturesque paths, allowing you to discover the beauty of the Provence Verte Verdon.
A Drive for Preservation
By participating in these days, every visitor contributes to raising awareness of the importance of preserving our heritage. These events aim to create genuine awareness around the issues of restoration and conservation. By committing to discover these historically rich places, the public plays an active role in their preservation for future generations.
