Things to do on holiday in Frejus, France

When you first arrive in Frejus, France, the compact town centre just invites you to investigate further. There are so many charming little shops, historical places of interest and mouth-watering restaurants that you can wander through the narrow streets which centre on the Cathedral in the very centre of the town.

Frejus is busiest during the summer months as it is primarily a beach holiday destination, set just a few short miles from the stunning beaches which have made resorts like Cannes and St Tropez world famous. If you walk from the centre of town to the small St Aygulf port, you can then find your ideal little cove beach or sandy inlet from which to enjoy the warmth of the Mediterranean.

Those taking Frejus accommodation with an interest in the Roman era will be absolutely delighted upon their arrival at a Frejus apartment or villa, as the whole area is inundated with Roman ruins.

Family holidays taking advantage of Frejus accommodation will love the Frejus Zoo and the Aquapark Frejus, just 6km from the Cathedral Square in the town centre. The Frejus area is excellent for walking, as the town is situated on the fertile plain which separates the Esterel Mountains from the Maures Mountains. However, the town does cover a large area, and you may have to travel a few miles outside of town to find the start of the trails.
