In the early days, Toulon was a naval port separate from the city's business district. The city was reached by a paddle steamer that plied several times a day between the roadstead and the beach. During the French Revolution, Toulon became a strategic port. The Jacobin administration was swept out of power in 1793, and the Girondins took over. Toulon eventually surrendered to the British in 1794. The city was heavily remodeled in 1850 when Georges-Eugene Haussmann became the Prefect of the Var. He destroyed much of the city's fortifications and built new squares and boulevards. Haussmann would later remodel Paris in the process.
