No. 1 ~ Toulon, France
A town on the French coast and home to a major naval base, old Toulon is part of the Provence region and known for its fountains, narrow streets and famed Provençal market. {we were there on a public holiday so the streets were quiet apart from the market}
The market was bustling and I just loved all of the fresh produce, lavendar, local fabrics and woven market bags. And cute trolleys were everywhere.
Once our senses were tingling with all the delicious smells of the market, we decided to explore the tiny streets around the old town to take in the charming architecture.
Toulon was such a lovely town and I felt like I got a little taste of daily French life of those lucky enough to live in Provence.
next stop ~ Nice, France

Great photos Lisa, I felt like I was right there with you!
Did you get one of those market baskets? I just won one from The French Basketeer and I love it :)
Lovely! I've been to Europe, but not France...looks so quaint. What a lovely day to be there...seems like a regular day which to me are the best days to take in a place and really get a feel for it.
Looking forward to more!
Absolutely breathtaking! The market looks like a slice of paradise to me. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for us! So beautiful!

Your pictures make me wish that we'd taken the time to plan a summer vacation this year. We have been terrible planners this year. Maybe next year, until then I'll just enjoy your vacation update.
