Timeless mid-century design close to the Provençal village-like atmosphere and sandy beaches of Le Mourillon, this stylish two-bedroom apartment is ideally placed to explore the best of this underrated stretch of southern French shoreline. The interior has been designed with an eye for detail. Everywhere you look, you're sure to spot an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture, eye-catching wallpaper or an elegant lamp, adding a little je ne sais quoi to the space. Step out onto your private terrace and enjoy the magnificent weather as you plan your day while tucking into an energising coffee and buttery croissant. After a morning spent wandering around the atmospheric cafe-lined streets of Le Mourillon and picking out local produce at its daily food markets, why not check out the 16th-century Fort Saint-Louis, followed by an afternoon topping up your vitamin D down at the beach? Alternatively, make your way a couple of kilometres west to the maze-like streets of Toulon's old town, lined with a contrasting mix of designer shops and charmingly dilapidated medieval houses. For a change of scene, we'd recommend heading north to Mont Faron, which offers a whole new perspective on Toulon from its peak, 500m above the city.
