We’re going to tell you everything you can see and do in Fréjus, so make sure you take some notes!
THE BEST ACTIVITIES IN FRÉJUS
(Re)discover some historical jewels
Fréjus is one of the most famous seaside destinations in the Var, for its beaches, sunshine and typical South of France setting, and for good reason! What luck to be able to enjoy the Mediterranean and the Côte d’Azur in summer (or in any season).
But did you know that the town also has some amazing monuments that are well worth a detour?
- The Roman amphitheatre: although the marks of time are still visible at this truly impressive place of history, it is still used as a venue for festivities and culture, much as it was in ancient times.
- The archaeological museum: another place that celebrates the town’s rich past. The remains found during excavations are exhibited here. Educational and exciting!
- Saint-Léonce Cathedral: a classified Historical Monument, this religious building and its cloisters are one of the oldest Roman churches in France and are worth a look for their architecture.
- Fréjus old town: strolling through the charming Provençal streets is essential if you want to immerse yourself in the typical atmosphere of the South of France!
A myriad of outdoor and seaside activities
A holiday in Fréjus means outdoor activities to suit all tastes. On land and on the sea, we wouldn’t say the choice is infinite, but it's not far off:
- Lounging around, an ancestral art adored by the epicureans, can be practised to perfection on the beaches of Fréjus and Saint-Aygulf.
- Watersports enthusiasts can try out paddleboarding, jet-skiing, diving and more, as you tame the blue waves of the Mediterranean.
- To escape into nature, you can’t beat a bike ride at the François Léotard nature base or a hike through the Esterel Massif.
And that's only a glimpse of the holiday programme that awaits you!
