Cours Lafayette

Cours Lafayette is one of the liveliest spots in Toulon, located just a few steps away from the sea. On both sides of the street, you’ll find shops of all kinds, including market stalls overflowing with the best Provençal flavours. This market even inspired a famous song by French singer, Gilbert Bécaud, called Les marchés de Provence. This beloved singer, pianist, and composer was born and raised here in Toulon. But back to the market. Here, friendly vendors and local artisans are always happy to share their best regional products in a warm atmosphere that captures the spirit of Provence. Between the colours, scents, and cheerful chatter, you’ll get a real taste of Toulon’s soul. So go ahead, dive in, chat with the locals, and treat yourself to the city’s delicious specialities. Start with a bite of cade, Toulon’s beloved chickpea flatbread, it’s the perfect way to begin!
