Fort Balaguier

On the waterfront, fort Balaguier combines the architecture of a former gun tower with an exploration of the underwater world. The museum spaces feature immersive displays, a film and exploration tools that shed light on the connections between the Mediterranean and human activities. The building itself recalls the defence of the port of Toulon. The visit continues in the maritime setting of corniche Bonaparte.
