Diving into the maritime history of the Var

A cultural visit not to be missed 20 minutes from Camping l’Artaudois

Located in the port of Toulon, the Musée National de la Marine de Toulon is one of France’s oldest maritime museums. It retraces over 400 years of naval history, in direct connection with the Toulon arsenal, the largest military port in Europe. Ship models, cannons, uniforms, paintings, navigational artifacts and historical accounts help visitors understand Toulon’s strategic role in French maritime history. The visit is fun, educational and fascinating, for young and old alike.

An easy cultural excursion from the campsite

From Camping l’Artaudois, the museum can be reached in around 20 minutes by car. This proximity makes it easy to organize a half-day cultural outing, ideal for alternating beach, nature and heritage during your vacation. The museum is located right next to the port of Toulon, so you can round off your visit with a stroll along the harbour, lunch on the terrace or a boat trip in the harbour.

An ideal visit for the whole family

The Musée de la Marine appeals to children and adults alike. The impressive models, naval battle scenes, interactive explanations and temporary exhibitions captivate the whole family. It’s also an excellent outing on hot days or when the weather is less favorable. It’s a fun way to learn, in an air-conditioned, accessible setting.
