Fréjus and St Raphael together form a lively twin town on the Côte d'Azur. Both places have wide sandy beaches, good restaurants and a pleasant centre. Fréjus also has a rich Roman history with impressive monuments. The region is a good base for trips to Saint Tropez, the Esterel massif and the Gorges du Verdon. Ideal for those who want to combine beach, culture and nature.
The Fréjus and St Raphael region has several beautiful beaches. The Plage de Fréjus is a long sandy beach that is well visited in summer but offers plenty of space. St Raphael has several smaller beaches spread along the coastline, such as the Plage du Veillat in the town centre. A little further away, the rocky coves of the Corniche de l'Esterel are particularly photogenic and quieter than the main resorts.
Fréjus was once an important Roman port town. The town has well-preserved Roman remains, including an amphitheatre from the first century AD, a Roman arena, remains of the aqueduct and the old harbour installations. Fréjus also has a medieval cathedral with a beautiful baptistery, one of the oldest in France. A visit to Fréjus combines the beach with a fascinating historical walk.
Fréjus and St Raphael are around 35 to 40 kilometres from Saint Tropez. Cannes is around 40 kilometres away and Nice around 80 kilometres. This makes the region a good base for day trips along the entire Côte d'Azur.
