Trompe d’oeil in Toulon France

One of the things I love about living in Toulon are all the little surprising places you find, tucked in here and there around the squares and throughout the old parts of the city.
For example, we have this wonderful example of a Trompe d’oeil. The front half of this huge wooden sailing ship comes right out of the wall of this apartment building.
It’s located in one of the quartiers (corners) of the city. It’s not too far from the harbor. On the weekends, you’ll often find a huge Arab swap meet going on right under the ship.
Because the small square is surrounded by palm trees, it can be hard to get a good picture, but it’s definitely worth the time to pay a visit to this “quartier” (section) of the city.
