Frejus

Fréjus, a seaside resort in the Var department between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, combines heritage with coastal charm. The old town of Fréjus and its historic centre are well worth a visit, as is the harbour, a pleasant starting point for a stroll. The Musée des Troupes de Marine, free of charge, offers an informative look at local military history. Night markets and the Provençal market bring evenings to life and showcase regional produce, while Base Nature beach provides a large space to relax by the sea. For a bite to eat, the restaurant Le Lou Lyta is a popular choice, along with Ma Pizz' for a simple, friendly meal. The coastline towards Saint-Raphaël and Agay reveals coves and inlets, with the Esterel massif as a backdrop, ideal for nature lovers and hikers. Water-based activities abound, from diving and parasailing to paddleboarding, kayaking and a water park. Fréjus's train station also makes it easy to explore nearby Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Sainte-Maxime and Grimaud, making the town a convenient base for discovering the French Riviera.
