    History of the town

    We first see the city of Frejus on the maps in the 1st century BC. The port town was the logistical base of the Romans in this region. The hinterland seems to be a source of wealth for its products and its water. In the year 1249 Callian was ruled by a famous nobleman named Kallian. The plague of 1348 followed by the famine of 1364 wiped out most of the villages’ population. The remaining inhabitants dispersed and founded the nearby villages known as Fayance and Tourette.
