Discover a Charming Provençal Village

La Garde Freinet is the gateway to the Gulf of St. Tropez. Nestled in the heart of the Maures Mountains, this old provençal village has successfully preserved its authentic character. You get there by picturesque roads, winding through a wild and wonderfully natural landscape, forests with various species of trees and typically Mediterranean cultivated grounds. Its sentry position at the top of the pass gained it the name of "guard" hence the name of La Garde-Freinet and that of the villagers: the Fraxinois, commonly called Gardois from the provençal word "Gardiòu".
