Église Saint-Louis de Toulon

Église Saint-Louis de Toulon is a neoclassical building from the late 18th century with three naves separated by white Doric columns from Cassis. The choir is encircled by ten Corinthian columns and creates a harmonious interior with carefully proportioned spaces.

Construction began in 1705 but was relocated following Louis XVI's order, with the new building completed in 1788. This relocation reflected broader urban changes in Toulon's center during the 18th century.

The church shapes Toulon's townscape with its neoclassical design and grand columns that reflect 18th-century craftsmanship. Visitors can experience the careful balance between religious function and artistic quality throughout the interior spaces.

The church is accessible to visitors during its open hours and lies within easy reach of central Toulon. You can explore the interior at your own pace and view the religious artworks and the crypt at ground level.

The crypt houses a statue of the Virgin with Goldfinch, a rare religious artwork with deep iconographic roots. A gallery space hosts rotating exhibitions that give visibility to local artists and cultural themes.
