Along the local coastline, it is impossible to miss the Coudon which dominates Toulon and the Mediterranean Sea. From the top of its 700 meters, the view is just as impressive. The mountain also becomes a famous take-off runway for paragliders.

The tour leads to Toulon, then across the city with a lot of traffic. There are a few steps to overcome before the climb begins. Condition should be present. The foresight is gigantic when you are on top.
