Fréjus is a city located along the Mediterranean coastline between Cannes and Saint Tropez in southern France. The guide, Marcel, provides a tour of Fréjus, highlighting the city's Roman history and ruins dating back to when it was founded as Forum Julii by Julius Caesar. Some of the sites mentioned include the amphitheater, aqueduct, and colorful old town. Modern Fréjus has a new marina built in 1994 and beaches nearby, though the water is too cold for Marcel today.

5. The history of Fréjus is very similar to that of Provence. It has been destroyed many times in spite of the presence of the Roman Legion. In 49 B.C., Julius Cesar decided to have the Adrian Way built to link Italy through to Spain. In those days the Phoceans of Marseille had already set up a colony on the site, but it was the Roman emperor who gave the port its prosperity and the city its name of 'Forum Julii' meaning “market of Julius”. It went on to become one of the most important ports in the Mediterranean.
