The weather in Frejus, South France, is a typical Mediterranean climate, with long hot summers and mild winters. What makes Frejus distinct however, is the amount of clear sunny days the town enjoys. Typically, Frejus enjoys over 2,690 hours of sunshine a year, making Frejus the sunniest places in France.

With the lovely beaches surrounding Frejus, such as Frejus Plage, Plage de la Tortue at Saint-Raphael and Cherry Beach in nearby Sainte-Maxime; you can see why Frejus is such a popular French Riviera resort.

The area surrounding Frejus has been populated since before the Romans, with a settlement first being founded here by the Phoenicians. The Romans further developed the town by building an amphitheatre, the forum and a popular market place and cultivating the surrounding lands with olive trees, vines and citrus fruits.

The warm climate in Frejus helped the town to prosper up until around the 10th century when the port began prone to silt. During the early 19th Century the town became developed as an early tourist destination, rivalling the nearby resort of Hyeres.

Following the Second World War, the warm sunny climate in Frejus helped tourism to take off dramatically and the town expanded rapidly to encompass the seaside village of Saint Raphael.
