Abarth Rental in Toulon

Toulon has been the French Navy's principal Mediterranean base since Louis XIV, and the city still carries that maritime authority in its bones, warships anchored in the roadstead below a harbor that's handled serious naval traffic for four centuries. Above the port, Mont Faron rises almost 600 meters straight from the waterfront, reachable by a cable car that opened in 1959 and, for drivers, by a road that switches back hard enough to test a car's composure at every turn, opening onto views over the entire rade by the time you reach the summit fort. From there the whole geography of the Var makes sense: Toulon anchors one end of the coast, Saint-Tropez and Cannes further along, the calanques of Cassis just to the west. It's a working city rather than a resort one, and the interest in something serious to drive reflects genuine local demand rather than passing tourist traffic. Rent or hire a sports car with Zeus Prestige and the Mont Faron road is there the moment you want to see the whole coast at once.
