Tourism La Garde-Freinet
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 » whence the name of La Garde-Freinet and that of the villagers: the Fraxinois, commonly called Gardois from the provençal word “Gardiòu”.
