Fréjus

The 1st-century Roman amphitheatre, restored and still used for concerts and bullfights, is one of the most complete in southern France. Unusually for a French monument, leashed dogs are admitted inside for standard visits, outside special events.

A 100-hectare park on the former naval air station, with flat paths, a free-access beach and a brand-new fully enclosed Woof Park (agility obstacles, water point, shaded benches). Categories 1 and 2 dogs are not admitted to the Woof Park.

The largest of Fréjus' three official dog beaches, at Saint-Aygulf, reserved by municipal order year-round. Fine sand, gentle slope, leash required and waste bins at the entrance.

The medieval town around Place Formigé and Cathédrale Saint-Léonce, whose 5th-century baptistery is one of France's oldest Christian structures. The cathedral interior and cloister do not admit dogs, but the entire walking circuit is open to leashed dogs.

The red-porphyry massif east of Fréjus, crossed by marked trails including the 4 km loop to the Pic du Cap Roux (453 m) with a 360-degree panorama of the bay. Leashed dogs welcome outside summer red-alert fire closures.

The modern marina south of the town, with a long quayside lined with dog-friendly brasseries on the terrace. A flat 1 km promenade around the basin and direct access to Pacha Plage at the Base Nature 800 m away.
