About four trains a day stop at Frejus'
gare SNCF
, just three to four minutes away from St-Raphael. Buses between the two towns are much more frequent and take ten minutes on the St-Raphael-Draguignan route. The
gare routiere
is on the east side of the town centre on place Paul-Vernet (tel 04.94.53.78.46), opposite which is the
tourist office
, at 325 rue Jean-Jaures (June-Sept Mon-Sat 9am-noon & 2-7pm, Sun 10am-noon & 3.30-6pm; rest of year Mon-Sat 9am-noon & 2-6pm, Sun 10am-noon & 3-5.30pm; tel 04.94.51.83.83,

If you're looking to stay the night in Frejus, three central
hotels
worth trying are the plush
Arena
, 139 rue de General-de-Gaulle (tel 04.94.17.09.40, fax 04.94.52.01.52; 600-700F/€91-107), with pretty, if rather small rooms and a pool;
La Bellevue
, place Paul-Vernet (tel 04.94.17.25.05, fax 04.94.17.23.75; 220-300F/€34-46), in a convenient though not particularly quiet location; and
La Riviera
, 90 rue Grisolle (tel 04.94.51.31.46, fax 04.94.17.18.34; 160-220F/€24-34), very small and not very modern, but clean and perfectly acceptable. There's an
HI hostel
2km northeast from the centre of Frejus at chemin du Counillier (tel 04.94.53.18.75, fax 04.94.53.25.86); bus #7 leaves quai 7 of the St-Raphael
gare routiere
at 6pm, or take a regular bus #4, #8 or #9 from St-Raphael or Frejus, direction "L'Hopital" to stop "Les Chenes" and walk up avenue du Gal-d'Armee Jean-Calies - the chemin du Counillier is the first left. There is also a large
campsite
in the grounds. An alternative campsite is
Les Acacias
, 370 rue Henri-Giraud (tel 04.94.53.21.22), 2.5km from the centre and open all year. Other useful information
