10,000 people turned out of the huge camping areas near Frejus to keep them safe from the raging fire. But there you are with family and all your gear with hordes of others stuck in a traffic jam on those small roads. Where do you go? They call this a holiday, what a time for your two weeks relaxing from work.
Without the fire I do not know why anyone would go camping at Frejus. More than thirty years ago with a tent having had a great time in Italy on the way home we decided to spend a few days at
Frejus. The campsites were huge and lacking charm, the roads were blocked with traffic all day going to Nice and Cannes. The relief when we got up into the mountains towards Grasse.
If you have happy memories of Frejus and camping you can dispute this statement you know.
