Toulon, France

Our first port of call was Toulon, a charming French naval port on the French Riviera with a beautiful natural harbor.  Our cruise ship was docked there from 8:00am until 7:00pm, offering plenty of time for some on-shore excursions.  Ours included wandering the market area, a train tour of Toulon, a stop at a local park and beach, and some tasty desserts before a boat ride back to the ship dock.  We set sail around 8:00 pm on a calm and beautiful moon-lit sea.
