Garde Freinet in Cote d'Azur

The pretty town of Garde Freinet is situated in the center of the Massif des Maures and is reached by picturesque roads winding through forests of oaks and chestnut trees. Fortified since 11th c., the village has preserved its character with its stone houses, the old street names, and of course a pretty village square. From the top of the old Fort Freinet, which gives high up views, you can appreciate the panoramic view of the hills and valleys all the way to the Alps. It is also a popular spot for artists and writers who have settled here.
