Frejus is a coastal city in the Var department with one of the richest Roman heritage landscapes in Provence — an amphitheatre, thermal baths, an aqueduct, and a triumphal arch from the 1st century AD all preserved within the modern town. Its chloride-rich thermal springs were first developed by the Romans as the thermae of the colony Forum Julii, and bathing in the thermal waters of Frejus today continues a tradition unbroken since the age of Augustus and Julius Caesar. Combining an archaeological visit to the Roman monuments with a session in the thermal baths creates a historically immersive wellness experience connecting modern visitors directly to the Roman thermal culture that shaped European balneology.

Insider tip — Nestled between the Esterel massif and the Mediterranean coast, Frejus thermal waters emerge as warm sodium-chloride springs at 38°C. The coastal microclimate and proximity to Roman ruins make this a culturally rich wellness stop. Best visited in spring when crowds are thin and the mimosa is in bloom.
