La Seyne-sur-Mer, Var Département, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
🇫🇷 La Seyne-sur-Mer, or La Seyne is a commune in the Var department in the French Riviera. It is part of the agglomeration of Toulon, and is situated adjacent to the west of this city.
Economy La Seyne-sur-Mer owed its importance to the shipbuilding trade, the Société des Forges et Chantiers de la Mediterranée having here one of the finest shipbuilding yards in Europe (it is a branch of the larger establishment at Marseille), which gave employment to about 3,000 workers.
In recent years the town has moved from its traditional industries to tourism. The docks previously used have had extensive work and now comprise a park, marinas and a new (2010) hotel overlooking Toulon and the marinas.
The population is diverse in origins and the outer suburbs are undergoing a transformation with old multi storey apartments being replaced with modern developments. La Seyne has a railway station, Gare de La Seyne-Six-Fours, on the line from Toulon to Marseille.
Iraq's "Osiris class" nuclear reactors, later destroyed by Israel in Operation Opera, were built in La Seyne-sur-Mer.
Buildings and structures • Pont basculant de la Seyne-sur-Mer, a former bascule bridge. • Institut Michel-Pacha, a building in the néo-mauresque style which hosted a research laboratory in marine biology from 1900 until 2008.
