  • Port Fréjus | Fréjus

Spending your wintering in Port-Fréjus means enjoying a quiet marina, maintained daily (quays, slipway and amenities) and featuring a team attentive to its yachtsmen, providing a service 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. The Base Naturelle François Léotard is a stone’s throw from the port, with its natural spaces and the possibility of practicing many sports activities. In winter on the Mediterranean coast, the weather is mild, the mimosas are in bloom and color the hikes of the Massif de l’Estérel. The tourist places are easily accessible: the center of Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, or the famous Saint-Tropez avoid the euphoria of summer at this time. Finally, the port continues to live out of season thanks to the many activities that can be undertaken on site.
