Origin and history
The ancient spas of Fréjus, dated from the first century, are Roman remains built in irregular sandstone apparatus bound by a mortar. Their irregular plan includes a north-south vaulted gallery in the middle of the pit, with traces of arches and pipes on the north facade. An arc in the middle of the middle of about 1 meter high marks the outlet of this gallery. These baths, classified as Historic Monument by decree of 12 July 1886, illustrate Roman engineering in the region.
In the 19th century, a farm was built on the same site, already visible on the cadastre of 1826. The remains of the thermal baths, partially preserved, reveal typical construction techniques of antiquity, such as the use of sandstone stones. Their location in Fréjus, in the Var, highlights the historical importance of this Provencal city during the Roman period.
The thermal baths, although partially preserved, offer an overview of Roman public infrastructure dedicated to hygiene and leisure. Their classification in 1886 reflects their heritage value, while their integration into a later farm reflects the re-use of ancient sites throughout the centuries. The accuracy of their location is estimated to be poor (level 5/10), based on available data.
