Around the campsite:
explore the Estérel and the French Riviera.

One campsite. A whole world to explore.

Three landscapes, a thousand memories

The great outdoors,
in all its colours.

In Théoule-sur-Mer, La Pointe de l’Aiguille combines paths, coves and red rocks. Further west, Agay and Le Dramont reveal other sides of the coast.

From heritage to seaside strolls

Nearby towns.
Their must-see sights.

Four ideas for outings to enjoy a change of scenery, while keeping the same base.

History & harbour life

Fréjus

Step back in time in the ancient Roman town, then enjoy the seaside atmosphere of Port-Fréjus.

  • The Roman amphitheatre, aqueduct and theatre: traces of Forum Iulii.
  • The historic centre: lanes, Saint-Léonce Cathedral and its cloister.
  • Port-Fréjus: a stroll among boats, café terraces and beaches.

Today's idea: heritage in the morning, a harbour stroll in the late afternoon.

Discover Fréjus
Beaches & red rocks

Saint-Raphaël & Agay
