Car hire Frejus

Frejus lies on the Côte d'Azur between Cannes and Saint-Tropez in southern France and is a popular tourist town for its Roman remains and for its beaches. You can get here by flying to Marseille or Nice and then picking up cheap car hire at Frejus.

The town was founded in 49BC by none other than Julius Caesar and it thus boasts some remarkable Roman structures. The biggest tourist sights to check out in Frejus can be found in the Forum Julii. There is a huge amphitheatre here, which goes right back to Gallic times in the 1st or 2nd centuries, along with the Oree Gate arcades.

With car rental in Frejus, you can also see the stunning Church of St Maximinus, which was started in the 13th century, while Frejus Cathedral is a remarkable stone structure amid a pretty square. Other noted Frejus sights include the Chapel Cocteau and the beaches.

The beaches of Frejus are just south of town with car rental in Frejus and are inherently pretty and strewn with impressive palm trees. The beaches are much less touristy than those of nearby Saint-Tropez, and especially Cannes and Nice, plus you can get cheaper accommodation.

The beaches stretch around to neighbouring Saint-Raphaël, where there are fine sands and good walking – be sure to trek to Malpasset Dam. With car hire in Frejus, you can also drive into the nearby Maures Mountains and the Esterel Hills, or perhaps head along the French Riviera coast and explore then glitzy seaside towns.
