The **Porte d'Italie** is a historic gateway in Toulon, France, set in the city’s central urban area where routes around Mayol, the port-side center, and the university district come together. It is a fortification landmark rather than a standalone attraction, and it still reads clearly as part of the old city edge. The gate is among the last visible traces of Toulon’s once-extensive system of fortification walls.
Even though it is in the center of the city, you can access it easily by parking in central Toulon and then walking the last stretch to the **Porte d'Italie**. If you are looking to rent a car in France, it is recommended to compare prices from multiple car rental agencies like [Discover Cars](https://www.discovercars.com/france?a_aid=nomad-travel-guide).
Overall, a visit to the **Porte d'Italie** adds context to a walking tour of Toulon and is worth the short stop.
