What is the Chicag' Hostel ?

The Chicag’ Hostel is a backpacker’s hostel which was opened in the old centre of Toulon in May 2013 having an ambitious aim: to participate in the revivification of this lovely quarter by bringing the international travelers together with the locals, just as diversified as the others. To reach this goal, the Chicag’ is organizing and hosting a lot of culture events such as concerts, movie nights with local artists, flea markets etc. So, within just one and a half years, the Chicag’ has already become an incontournable meeting spot for all kind of multicultural exchanges in the heart of old Toulon!

It was two years ago in 2012 that we, Clara and Björn, fell in love with the charming old centre of Toulon. Our ambition to diversify the local hotel offers in a way that the city will become more attractive to backpackers travelling on a lower budget led us to the decision to open a hostel. Today, the Chicag’ is able to offer space for 21 travelers in 4 individually designed shared bedrooms. On the ground floor our flourishing café welcomes anyone passing by, locals and travelers, as a tearoom in daytime, a bar in nighttime when there’s an event going on and at all time of the day as a meeting point for many different people.

Aiming to connect the travelers with the local life, we always update them with the newest informations about all cultural activities in Toulon as well as about everything organized by the citizens’ group of the quarter.

A well equipped kitchen with a nice and welcoming ambiance offers our guests the opportunity to prepare their own meals, probably bought on a trip on the local market in the neighborhood ;)

Why do we need your help?

We want to create a new feature inside of the Chicag‘, improving the time for all the people who love to stay there - a restaurant. Maybe it’s too ambitious to call it a “restaurant”, let’s call it a” snack bar”, a place where you can enjoy delicious little plates and fresh finger food, all made of local products, served all day long without a break.

Because today, more and more travelers and locals would love to eat in the special ambiance of the Chicag’. But to be able to offer such food, we have to invest in a kitchen meeting the professional standards. That’s where you can help us by participating in its realization!

Our inspiration

The various travelers who have already passed a time in the Chicag‘ have left their marks, in nice memories of beautiful shared moments, but as well in giving us some of their culinarian secrects...

And of cours, we won’t forget to offer the taste of the Provence to our travelers, for example with crunchy goat cheese croutons refined with lavender honey and rosemary and fresh salad dressed with good Provenҫal olive oil. Or a delicious porridge with fresh fruits and sunflower seeds.

And last but not least...

We’ll offer you our delicious food during the whole day, at the time you want it! So all of those who forgot the strict lunch time in France can finally be free to choose something else than a kebab at the port or a pizza with French fries … Even if we agree that this can be really good, from time to time…
