Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ mɑ̃dʁije syʁ mɛʁ], lit. "Saint-Mandrier on Sea"; Occitan: Sant Mandrier de Mar), commonly referred to simply as Saint-Mandrier (former official name), is a commune in the southeastern French department of Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Across the harbour from the military port of Toulon, first naval base in Europe by size and homeport of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, flagship of the French Navy, Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer is home to a fishing port of its own, tucked into a small inlet.
