Quick stop in Toulon

Last Wednesday, before I had to go to French class, I had found some time to go to Toulon by bus. It was hot and sunny, so the conditions were excellent for taking some pictures! The city center, with a Tourist Office close to the harbor, was quite small. Still, I could see some interesting buildings and I hoped to find many ‘trompes l’oeils’. These paintings are quite funny to see, because you see something, that isn’t there at all!* I enjoyed an ice cream in the shopping center and walked along the Provencal market in the city center. The Port d’Italie was quite small and I found a bookshop with all sorts of books. Unfortunately, I had to go back at noon to attend the French class in the afternoon.

* I put 2 pictures in the slideshow. The first trompe l’oeil, which I found just by walking around, was in Toulon.
The second one shows the popes of Avignon. The French friend who went with us to Avignon, had quite a hard time finding that one, because it’s hidden in the city center.
