Toulon, Darse Vieille (Maribay Toulon Plaisance)

Toulon's Vieille Darse puts you right in the thick of it — step off your boat and you're already in the city center, no transit needed. The marina handles up to 580 boats on pontoons, with 130 dedicated spots for short stays, and you'll find buses, bike paths, and the sea all within a few hundred meters. It's a rare setup where urban life and the waterfront genuinely overlap.
