Église Saint-François-de-Paule de Toulon, 18th-century Baroque church in central Toulon, France.

Église Saint-François-de-Paule stands at the end of the Cours La Fayette on Place Louis Blanc, on the site of a tower of the medieval fortifications of the old Château de la Mer. Its pale stone facade has a central entrance framed by two columns, a statue niche above and a round window, with two large arched windows flanking it. A square bell tower on the left rises in stages to a small domed lantern with a cross, each side pierced by an arched bell opening; the base is grey stone, the upper walls light beige.

Built in 1744 as the Church of Saint John, it stood at the end of the former royal Castle of the Sea, on the site of an older medieval tower. It was the church of the Recollets, whose adjoining convent was destroyed in the bombardments of the Second World War. In 1803 it received its present name, and on 19 May 1942 it was classified as a historic monument.
