Fréjus Saint-Raphaël
A long time ago, I was travelling around Europe and had stayed overnight at a youth hostel in Fréjus Saint-Raphaël. Now that we were on holiday in the area, I wanted to visit it again. I found the photo back on the internet at booking, so it still exists…..
What a disillusionment when we got there and were chased away by an angry guard. “Closed, Closed” he called after us…. An unpleasant experience.
In the surrounding area, we took a walk in the pine forests. A walk in the Aurelian Park.

Afterwards, we visited the old town of Fréjus and made also a walk along the beach at Saint-Raphaël.
