musée national de la marine

土伦历史上是法国重要的军港及军舰建造地。这里的游览一个重要的部分就是围绕海军而展开的。其中国家海军博物馆是这里独特的参观地之一。这里可以看到法国海军的发展史及海战史。边上不远就是海军基地及海军军事学院。我还乘船去看了整个军港，唯一遗憾的就是法语解说完全听不懂，是个损失。

An interesting museum showing the naval history of the town up to the modern day with audio guides available in English.

There's a lot of maritime history to take in here. We met a lot of the locals passing through on our way to the marina and they were quite happy to tell us the history of Toulon and its surrounding areas. Impressive monuments to see!

This is a relatively small but well done museum in Toulon. Your admission includes a quality audio tour which you can choose to use, not use or use only for the items which interest you. There is a nice mix of kid-oriented and more "serious" items. If you're in Toulon via the cruise port, you can easily walk to this museum. It's nice, and there's not a ton of other attractions in Toulon - so this is a good choice.

Lots to see; well laid out; English language audio guide; educational and entertaining for all age groups.

Not very good. Nothing to really write home about. You can rent an audio phone to heart the commentary but I disconnected after ther first wrong.

Even if, like my wife, you have no interest in naval history, this is worth visiting if only for the collection of views of old Toulon over the ages.For the naval history buff (guilty as charged; it was my special subject on Mastermind), it is probably the best place to go outside Greenwich or Portsmouth.

At the top of Mount Faron is this little museum about the battle that was fought in Toulon. It has the history, the men involved from several armies and a collection of pictures, war weapons and miniature replicas. There is a movie at the end of the museum.

Easily reached by walking along the harbourside from our cruise ship berth this was an enjoyable visit. My French is basic but the audio guide in English helped explain many of the exhibits. The history of Toulon is inextricably tied up with the naval base, and the models maps and some of the marvellous historic paintings show this well. There are some great models on display, I was particularly impressed by the wooden dry dock, the large scale fully rigged training ship models, and the aircraft carrier. The collection of naval toys was also interesting. There was a reduced entrance fee on presentation of my cruise boarding card.

Situated slong the quay from our cruise ship it is easy to find and access. The adjacent navy base and personnel in uniform give a suitable setting for a charming museum building, which consists of two floors. There are hand sets to give an audio guide, which is helpful for some of the larger displays and curios. However there was not the extensive exhibits to be expected in a 'National' museum and for the maritime enthusiast and we left feeling a little subdued. There was little interactive displays for children, but thankfully no video presentation.The toilets are ultramodern but were difficult to find in the lower ground floor.

We spent a fantastic morning at this museum. The audio guide was really helpful. I can't say enough about how wonderful the staff were. They were friendly and knowledgeable. The exhibition about the toy boats is particularly worth seeing.

Small but well set up museum with good range of exhibits. There is a free audio tour that provides a clear commentary and whilst most of the exhibits only have French narrative with basic french you get a good feel of the history.

There are some very pretty paintings in the museum and some amazing models of ships. It is a good place to learn about the history of Toulon too, as Toulon's history has much to do with the navy.It is a very cheap price to go in and a headset is included in your admission fee.

Arriving in Toulon on a Sunday with many things closed the Naval museum situated at the entrance to the Navy docks was a nice distraction from the Sunday market.Only a 500 metre walk from where ferries and cruise ships dock it is easy to find just turn left towards the grey ships of the French navy when leaving the dock side.9 euros for two to enter this place is not huge but very very interesting ,fantastic models of ships from every era,especially 1800-1900.Large oil paintings of Toulon harbour and battle scenes from years gone by could hang in any gallery.They also have an instrument panel from a decommissioned submarine which is staggering in size and looks very complex to use.An audio guide is available in many languages and is free, all in all a good way to escape the sun and heat for a couple of hours.

Even if you are not a marine personage you will find something fascinating in here. It all starts with the splendid archway that was moved in one piece to form the entry to the museum. It had previously been blocking traffic and so this is a far better use. Inside are some wonderful displays including two massive model galleons that were built at the same time as there life size counterparts. They are faithful in every respect and were used to teach the officers about the galleons so when they took over their role they would already know everything about the ship. There is also a model of the rope making building and an interesting explanation. It is a modest €6 entry and that includes audio guides. Clean toilets and an obliging staff round it off as a good thing to do for 2 hours or less. Then walk along the waterfront and enjoy an iced coffee or beer and the scene of numerous yachts and ferries coming and going.
