Le Jonquet is a 5 acre walled estate on the edge of Toulon and dates from the 16th century. The big house until recently was occupied by the Burnett family, and was used by Napoleon III. As a hunting lodge. Le Jonquet has been in the Burnett family for over fifty years and has been described as a "Garden of Eden". A large part of the garden has been turned into a public park and named parc Burnett. The apartments, pool and games area are set in approximately one acre and are adjacent to the four-acre park.

The 10-metre swimming pool with Jacuzzi is situated in a secluded part of the garden and has a conservatory type cover for winter use. There is poolside furniture and a barbecue area. Next to the pool we have newly installed a 2-bedroom chalet for rent. We have carp and goldfish in the bassin (a large pond type structure typical of Provence and used for irrigation and washing clothes in the not-so-distant past).
