Coastal cycling route - V65: Toulon > La Garde

Crossing Toulon on the V65 is a very urban affair, and should be undertaken with caution, as bicycles are not allowed in the city. Nevertheless, it's a useful way to discover the town, its port, its neighborhoods, its architecture and its various must-see sites (museums, beaches, attractions...).

Cycling in Toulon is certainly tricky in some places (shared lanes, few greenways, pressure from motorists, itinerary to be clarified...). Nevertheless, some parts are more pleasant:

- The entrance to Toulon via the former Arsenal moat, just below the freeway, is protected by these ancient fortifications and offers a privileged access route to the Palais des Sports.

- In the heart of the city, you'll want to take advantage of the small, sometimes pedestrianized, streets that allow you to avoid the main boulevards and stay out of the way of traffic, while enjoying all that Toulon has to offer: its fountains, its market, its stores, its restaurants and so on.

- When you leave the city center at "la Porte des Oliviers", in the direction of Le Pradet/La Garde, the route is very pleasant. You'll be walking along a genuine "coulée verte", an undergrowth that runs alongside a small stream known for its coolness in summer, brought on by shade and humidity (Les Ameniers district).

This last section marks the start of a program initiated by Toulon Provence Méditerranée: "Easy Borne TPM", accessible from your smartphone. A series of information access points via digital terminals that line the coastal cycling route.
