Small but beautifully formed — largely by the Romans — Fréjus is a charming port town at the foot of the striking Estérel Massif mountains. Come for the fascinating archeological sites, and stay for the Provençal rosé! Accommodation options both in Fréjus and neighbouring seaside Saint-Raphaël are intimate and appealing, fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic couples’ escape or a laid-back trip with friends, the best places to stay in Fréjus promise something very special.

Architectural highlights within the town itself include the ancient ruins of a Roman amphitheatre, an aqueduct, defensive walls and a lighthouse — all detailed at the Archaeological Museum. The imposing Gothic Saint-Léonce Cathedral with its painted cloisters, on the other hand, stands in impactful contrast to Jean Cocteau’s 1960s-decorated Notre-Dame de Jérusalem Chapel. Both are well worth visiting as you stroll along pretty, flower-filled streets, pop into cafés and sample produce at the regular markets.

Venture to sandy Fréjus Beach to swim, sunbathe and sail, or clamber to the peak of Mont Vinaigre for magnificent views from St Tropez to Cannes. Luna Park and Aqualand are family favourites, whilst keen adventurers can go hiking or mountain biking the hills. Return for great regional dishes at family-run restaurants and informative tours and tastings at excellent wineries. Our pick of the best places to stay in Fréjus even showcases a hotel with its own vineyards!
