Location
La Garde-Freinet is a medieval French mountain village, located in the Massif des Maures, 15 km northwest of Saint-Tropez. Accessible by picturesque winding roads, through forests of cork, oaks, and chestnuts.
History
The village was the site of Fraxinet, a Moorish settlement of the ninth to tenth centuries.
Sights
Established in the 11th century, the village has preserved its character with its field stone houses, old fashioned street names, and a village square framed with restaurants and local art galleries. From atop old Fort Freinet one can see the plains of Saint-Clément and the Argens valley, all the way to the Alps.
