A setting between land and sea
Nestled between the Villepey ponds, true sanctuaries for flora and fauna, and wild beaches lined with coves, Saint-Aygulf is the meeting place for lovers of nature and serenity.
An indescribable natural spot
Nestled between the Villepey ponds, a unique place for its exceptional biodiversity classified as a Natura 2000 zone and the fine sandy beaches, Saint-Aygulf is a dream destination that has its charms and mysteries! Indeed, the many coves and coves that line the coastline of this district make it a magnificent holiday resort combining the wild coast of an untamed Mediterranean and modern comfort inherited from the Belle Époque. The walks that wind from the customs officers' path through the stylish villas of the Belle Époque are absolutely charming for those who wish to discover an atypical district.
Saint-Aygulf the ideal place to enjoy the sun!
However, its center built around a legendary square and shops open all year round creates a village atmosphere that invites plenitude, summer evenings and endless games of pétanque… thus, the modern district does not forget its traditions and first and foremost that of the Giant Omelette which makes Fréjus the official holder of the largest omelette for more than three decades! Note: Saint-Aygulf beach is one of the largest beaches in the Var. With its kilometer long often exposed to the wind, it is a kitesurfing and windsurfing spot recognized throughout the world.
So, with its undeniable assets, all you have to do is benefit from the 300 days of sunshine per year and from the top of the hills of the district admire the masterpieces of nature present in the bay of Fréjus!
