The new town in Toulon
The new town in Toulon
Also called Haute ville (English: high town) by contrast with basse ville, because it was built in a higher part of the town. It was located at the north of the historical center, in the XIXth Century, by the baron Haussmann (who was later called to build Paris). Numerous buildings and places are in late XIXth Century style.
Place de la liberté (English: Liberty plaza). This is one of the town's main square. There's a nice statue in a fountain. In winter, a skating rink is put up for children and there's a picturesque Christmas market featuring tasting of several specialties from around France during most of December. However this sqaure may be noisy due to the main boulevard of the town running just along the square.
The Opera House, place Victor Hugo, +33 4 94 93 03 76, is 100 m east of the Place de la Liberté.
The railway station is 100 m northwest of the Place de la Liberté, also of XIXth Century style.
