Couvent des Dominicaines de Fréjus, Dominican convent in Fréjus, France

The Couvent Saint-Félix de Fréjus was a convent of reformed Cistercian nuns; the present Chapelle Saint-Félix on Rue Montgolfier marks its site. Built in the second half of the 17th century, as the date 1681 on the chapel door shows, it had two-storey convent buildings in a U around a cloister, with the chapel closing the courtyard to the north-west. The chapel interior was later divided and part of the cloister demolished; the chapel facade and its roof slope were listed as monuments historiques on 21 September 1961.

Dominican nuns settled in Fréjus in 1639 and were joined by Bernardine nuns in 1647; the convent was founded by Louise Cécile de Faverge, who came from La Roche-sur-Foron, and was a daughter house of the Bernardine convent of Rumilly. It closed in 1766, before the Revolution. The chapel facade and its roof slope were listed as monuments historiques on 21 September 1961.
