Roman
Frejus
Frejus
town, situated a mile north of the port, has a history going back
to Roman times. This is symbolised by the two striking (but relatively
recently erected) columns that greet the visitor who approaches
on the dual carriageway from the west.

There
are several Roman ruins, the most well preserved being the amphitheatre,
which is still used for 'bull fights' and concerts during the summer.
There is also the remains of the Roman aqueduct that carried water
to the town all the way from Mons.

The
town itself has tremendous charm. Sipping coffee by the fountain in
the town under the shade of the trees is a delight. |
