La Seyne-sur-Mer (tours to Toulon) , France cruises

With its shimmering azure seas and colourful historic centre, peppered with winding alleyways, a cruise to La-sur-Mer is a postcard of French perfection. Echoes of the town’s naval heritage live on in the Pont Levant bridge and the old shipyards still decorating the harbour. It’s a scene as quintessentially La Seyne-sur-Mer as the rows of fresh herbs and vine-ripened tomatoes tempting shoppers at the town’s Provencal market.

Arm yourself with a beach towel and spend a few hours surrendering to the spotless sands of Sablettes beach. Take yourself back in time in the botanic gardens of the 17th-century Fort Balaguier. Or abandon La Seyne-sur-Mer in pursuit of the spectacular views from the Mount Faron cable car on a Shore Experience to Toulon. Whatever your French Riveria dreams entail, a port call to La Seyne-sur-Mer with Cunard offers all the ingredients for a day to remember.
