Parc Aurélien, a green setting in the heart of Fréjus
The Bouquetier garden: meeting between nature, biodiversity and ecology
Nearby, the flower garden celebrates Mediterranean scents with its aromatic herbs and bouquets of flowers, sheltered by cypress trees. At the bend of a path, oriental-inspired factories and small ponds complete the charm of the place, testimonies of a landscaping where nature and style coexist harmoniously.
This botanical garden, unique in Provence, is a reservoir of life and precious biodiversity: it is home to 90% of Fréjus biotopes, including a protected pine forest and a lawn adorned with orchids. Here, Mediterranean plants and old varieties, such as almond trees currently being reintroduced, are preserved with ecological concerns. No fertilizers or treatments are used, and picking is prohibited, allowing each species to flourish in complete serenity, for the pleasure of visitors and respect for the surrounding nature.

The hill of Villa Aurelian
Perched on the hill of Fréjus, the Villa Aurélienne is surrounded by a unique forest that defies the passage of time and galloping urbanization. Among the guardians of this haven of greenery, the majestic umbrella pine stands out as the undisputed king of these places. Its outstretched branches create a real natural canopy, and in certain clearings, the pines stand straight and proud, like a Roman legion on the march, protectors of this Mediterranean land.
By taking the small winding paths around the villa, visitors can admire century-old trees, witnesses to a precious and preserved biodiversity. Cork oaks and stone pines coexist in a meditative serenity, their massive and twisted trunks telling centuries of history. For nature lovers, the Villa Aurélienne offers much more than a simple architectural setting; it is a space where the raw and timeless beauty of the green giants of Fréjus reigns, hidden in the heart of this hill.
