Saint-Louis Church
This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Toulon, the Historic Naval City
With its neoclassical architecture inspired by Greco-Roman design, Saint-Louis Church hasn’t always been a place of worship.
Completed in 1788, just months before the French Revolution, it was first turned into a Temple of Reason and the Supreme Being, then later used as a military depot to store ammunition.
It wasn’t until 1803, after the revolutionary wars, that the building was reinstated as a church and welcomed Toulon’s faithful once again.
Restored after World War II, it was officially listed as a Historic Monument in 1945.
