Fréjus on Foot – From Roman Port to Provençal Charm
Fréjus on Foot – From Roman Port to Provençal Charm
Reach the city center and begin a guided walking tour through Forum Julii, the name given by the Romans to Fréjus nearly 2,000 years ago. Accompanied by your guide, explore the layers of history that have shaped this ancient city, brought to life through engaging commentary and historical anecdotes as you move through its emblematic landmarks.
Step back into Roman times with a visit below ground to one of Fréjus’ most recent archaeological discoveries: a remarkably well-preserved Roman fish pond, a rare and striking example of Roman engineering ingenuity. Continue through the medieval heart of the city, strolling along narrow alleys before entering the cathedral, where architecture and atmosphere reflect centuries of religious and civic life.
The walk then reveals a more modern side of Fréjus, as you pass through picturesque streets lined with colorful façades that characterize the historic center today. After the guided visit, return toward the port with a leisurely seaside stroll. Enjoy the lively marina atmosphere, with time to pause for a coffee or artisanal ice cream by the water. The tour concludes at the Square de la Lanterne d’Auguste, site of an ancient Roman lighthouse and a lasting symbol of Fréjus’ maritime past. At the end of the tour, guests may remain in town and return to the port at their leisure or return to the yacht with the guide.
