FRÉJUS: SO MUCH MORE THAN A SEASIDE RESORT
We have driven along the Esterel Corniche (coast road) from Nice heading to St Tropez many times over the years, and have often stopped at the pretty coastal town of Fréjus for lunch at one of the many attractive beachside cafes. We’ve walked around it, enjoyed browsing through the numerous resort-wear shops, or simply rested on a beachside seat and enjoyed the sight of boats bobbing on the calm waters and admired the lovely villas perched above the port. Recently, we decided we would stop off for a short stay and explore the town in depth for a change. We’re so glad we did, and discovered some gems in the town on the hill above the port. We were already aware of its Roman history, but the ruins remaining today are most impressive, testament to its importance in the region’s ancient past.
