The centre of Fréjus preserves the memories of a very rich and prosperous past. When it was built, the Roman amphitheater was one of the most imposing in all of Gaul with almost 12,000 seats. Today, 2000 years after its construction, it continues to host shows and performances throughout the year, thus respecting its original vocation. The Roman builders also bequeathed us an aqueduct and a theater. The cloister and the cathedral bear witness to the importance and opulence of Fréjus in the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the town of Fréjus became a fashionable destination: the Villa Aurélienne, with its multiple influences, best embodies this economic and artistic revival.
Nature lovers will explore the surroundings of Fréjus: the Massif des Maures, the Massif de l’Estérel, the hills of Provence Verte are as many invitations to go hiking, cycling, mountain biking, climbing… The sea, always close by, also promises many experiences between unusual water activities, lazing around and swimming.
