About the Port
Fréjus traces its origins to a Roman naval base founded under Julius Caesar, and the town still holds onto that legacy in its weathered amphitheater, remnants of a Roman theater, and stretches of ancient aqueduct that once carried water from the hills. The historic core, compact and walkable, centers on an episcopal complex whose cathedral and cloister date back centuries, alongside a baptistery counted among the oldest religious structures in France.
Beyond the old town, the landscape shifts toward the Mediterranean and the rugged red cliffs of the Esterel massif, a striking contrast to the ochre stone of the Roman quarter. Nearby Saint-Raphaël offers a lively seafront promenade and easy access to the wider Riviera. Visitors exploring on foot can reach much of Fréjus's ancient core within a short distance of the port, making it a rewarding stop for those drawn to layered history set against a sunlit coastal backdrop.

Visit the Episcopal Cloister
Step into the quiet cathedral cloister and its painted wooden ceiling panels, then peek into the adjoining baptistery, among the oldest Christian structures in France.
