Old Toulon

Walked around the old part of Toulon this afternoon.  It has its own charm after all.  The initial impression from the waterfront gave way to an old, charming town on the hill slope, filled with older buildings and shops.  Boutiques abound but all on the scale of individual store fronts.  There is a large Galleries Lafayette near the train station. The regional trains run through the Cote d'Azur at regular intervals and the TGV connects Toulon to Paris and the Eurostar at Lille Europe.  The trains to Marseille also run  regularly through the day.
