I think the view is worth the 8+ euros and I would take it again for that but whoever owns this place needs to address the people working here because they are worthless.

Taking the cable car to the top of Mont-Faron Hill was so worth it! A little back story and you…read morewill understand. I was on a Mediterranean cruise by myself, and befriended a girl named Ida, from Norway. We decided to do all of our excursions together, since we were both traveling alone (she had a friend with her, but he was ill and stayed in the room the entire time). On our day in Toulon, we walked around the city looking for something to do, and decided to find the cable car and ride it to the very top of the hill. Slight problem though, neither one of us spoke fluent French. We tried to communicate with several people, but we ended up pointing and gesturing. Finally we came across a Frenchman who was wearing spandex and stretching (he looked to be a runner) in a park. Ida spoke broken French, and we pointed to the top of the hill, gesturing we wanted to take the cable car to the top. The Frenchman (whom we nicknamed "Jacques", said something to Ida, and she looked at me and said, "I think he just asked if we wanted a ride". He pointed us towards the road we needed to climb, and we smiled, waved, and bid Jacques adieu. We started walking up the hill when we heard a car honking at us. We look over, and a car pulls up next to us and rolls down the window - what do you know, it's Jacques and he is motioning for us to get into the car. We looked in the car, and saw a child seat, so I figured, why not, can't be that bad. After Ida and I got into the car (her in the front, myself in the back), we both realized, "Neither of us speak fluent French, we don't know Jacques, heck we don't even know his real name, and we just got into his car." He took us up the mountain to the base of the cable car, and then pulled out for us to get out. We made it - alive! Ida and I joked apparently our parents never taught us not to get into strangers' cars, especially in foreign lands. Regardless, the cable car ride was incredible - we could see all the way out to the Ocean, and could see our cruise ship (and several others) in the distance. The ride was smooth, and allowed for some wonderful pictures to be taken, as well as video. At the top of the hill there is a wonderful restaurant which sells crepes - I had never had nutella, so Ida insisted we get a Nutella crepe, which we split over some beverages. The views from the restaurant were great as well. If I am ever back in Toulon, I think I would take the cable car again - it was definitely worth it.

We booked a city bike tour to begin in the afternoon and while we waited outside the designated…read morespot we began to worry when no one showed up. However after a quick phone call, Emmanuel told us he was on his way and he met about 15 min later. He showed us the details of the bikes, they have a battery pack that gives you a little extra boost of power when going up hills. Very nice feature that makes for an easy, lovely ride. This feature is adjustable so you set the level of assistance required higher or lower. Emmanuel listened to us and once he realized we'd already seen a few of the Marseille sights, he adjusted the itinerary so that we did not have to visit some of the places we'd already seen and instead we saw several famous Marseille sights and had great views of the Old Port along with views of the city and coastal views as well. We were able to stop at a typical Southern French bakery, we visited the African market area with many shops (with goods and spices) with items from Morocco and Algeria. Emmanuel shared very interesting and detailed information all along the way. He even gave us good suggestions for dinner that night and a day trip to Cassis the next day. We absolutely enjoyed our tour and would recommend it for all visitors!

All along the ride our guide would have us stop to explain where we were and explain the history of Marseilles. There was time to relax too. We stopped at a local deli and picked up lunch to enjoy at the beach. We all agree this was one of the highlights of our France vacation and highly recommend this e

This is an especially good suggestion for people that do not speak the language. After asking and stopping by 3 full service ticket booths, we finally found ours, Inoui! We were also willing to pay more for reserved seats. So while all the other ticket counters had lines out the door, we were the only customers here and received FULL service. Easy to buy our tickets, ask and get educated about their train system, etc. See you all in Nice, France. :) Ambiance - It is a major public train station, so come early if you are not experienced. Crazy busy as expected. Pay to use toilets - 1 Euro. Several floors. There are actually good views of the city from some parts of the station. Service - Overall good. The best service was our train station, Inoui. Price - 45 Euros per person to Nice. $53 USD. Owner Comment - Thanks for having affordable and smooth transportation with Inoui to Nice.
