올리울 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

여기 예쁘네요, 아주 예뻐요

A true gateway to the historic Arsenal

At 804 m (or 801 m according to Komoot), Mont Caume (Est) is the highest point in the Toulon mountains. Although the relay station located there somewhat detracts from the view, the view of Toulon and the surrounding area is impressive. The ruins of a former military fort are also located on the site. The western summit, about 50 m lower, is about 1.5 km to the west.

watch out for cars but on the whole on Sundays it's fine

It is beautiful here

Great service, I bought a radar rear light and got it fully set up for the Garmin.

According to legend, Toulon singer Félix Mayol developed a passion for rugby after an oval ball knocked his hat off near a pitch. In 1919, he offered a large sum of money to acquire a plot of land and sold his songs to benefit the Lily of the Valley Club to finance its sports facilities. In his "Mémoires," published in 1929, he explains: Now, in Toulon, where the youth are particularly active and vigorous, we didn't have a single usable plot of land... All that remained was a disused velodrome, where no one ever went, which was no longer of any use, and which seemed to me to be as bored as our aspiring athletes... So, my God, it was quite simple: I bought the old velodrome! I broke ground myself on July 26th. Inaugurated on March 28, 1920, the Stade Mayol remains one of the rare examples in France of a stadium located in the heart of the city. The people of Toulon are passionate about the RCT and its "Temple de Besagne." On November 23, 1943, the stadium was bombed. Handed over to the city, the Stade Mayol was renovated and re-inaugurated in September 1965, for a match against the Welsh team of Newbridge. Since then, the famous "Rouge et Noir" players have continued to play in this stadium, so dear to the Toulon people. The stadium was recently modernized by the municipality, including the installation of two giant screens, a new sound system, new shells, and the creation of media spaces and boxes.

Subsequently, the growing importance of the naval arsenal contributed to a demographic boom that required increasing the capacity of the Cathedral, the only church in the city until the beginning of the 19th century. A new extension, including the Chapel of the Relics, was undertaken between 1654 and 1659 under the episcopates of Bishop Jacques Danès de Marly and Bishop Pierre Pingré. The latter consecrated the new Cathedral in 1661. It is now oriented from north to south and its surface area has doubled. This extension made it possible to include a large part of the pre-existing structural work. Thus, the building has three naves of five bays of unequal dimensions: the first, upon entering, is very short and corresponds to the Romanesque side aisle; the second, with a square plan, is the old great Romanesque nave; the third and fourth are narrower, and the volume of the great Romanesque nave is only found in the fifth bay which precedes the choir. The bay of the relic chapel, which supports the dome, already had its dimensions and square plan. The main drawback of this building is its darkness; the elevation of the central nave does not differ enough from that of the side naves to allow windows to be opened (those visible overlook the attic). Ceremonies were therefore, here more than elsewhere, lit by candlelight. These successive expansions and rearrangements give it a unique character, with naves of varying sizes, massive walls, and arcades of different styles. From 1696 to 1701, a monumental façade (24 meters long and 19 meters high) was inlaid onto the Romanesque wall where a door had been installed since 1666. The gable is adorned with a simple pointed pediment placed on a cornice surmounting a Corinthian order, as the central nave was not high enough in relation to the side naves to allow for the construction of a second order. Part of the sculpted decoration was damaged or destroyed during the Revolution in 1794 (the statues of Faith and Charity, as well as the bas-reliefs above the side doors, were removed, and the angels on the transom of the main door were disfigured). In 1730, the bell tower was demolished because it was in such poor condition. The city organized funding for a new bell tower, the construction of which began in 1737 and was completed in 1740. Like the old one, the new bell tower was falsely symmetrical with the Fos tower, until the latter was upgraded in 1822. The wrought iron bell cage that then topped it was transferred to the bell tower. The four bells, Holy Trinity, Savior, Mary, and Cyprien, have punctuated Toulon's life since 1524. During the French Revolution, the churches suffered greatly; the Cathedral was transformed into a Temple of Morality, a military equipment store, and a salt warehouse. The Concordat of 1801 abolished the dioceses of Fréjus and Toulon, which were incorporated into the diocese of Aix-en-Provence. In 1802, the Cathedral was returned to worship in a deplorable state and took the name of Sainte-Marie-Majeur Church until 1958, when the see was transferred to Toulon. In 1822, during the Restoration, the Diocese of Fréjus was reestablished and incorporated the Diocese of Toulon, thus corresponding to the Var department as Napoleon Bonaparte had intended. Illustrious visitors have come to pay their respects in our Cathedral: numerous Counts of Provence, Catherine de Medici, Anne of Austria, several Kings of France (Charles IX, Louis XIV, Charles X), Cardinal Mazarin, the Duke and Duchess of Angoulême, Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint John Bosco, Father Lacordaire, and more. Please come and discover this unique Cathedral, where guided tours are offered every Thursday during the summer: meet at 3 p.m. in front of the reception desk.
