context_page_description: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Fréjus–Toulon is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in southeastern France on the Mediterranean coast. In 1957 it was renamed as the Diocese of Fréjus–Toulon.
  A suffragan of the Archbishopric of Aix-en-Provence and Arles, it comprised the whole département of Var. Under the Civil Constitution of the Clergy the département of Var constituted a bishopric, absorbing the dioceses of Toulon, Fréjus, Grasse and Vence. It was suppressed by the Concordat of 1801, re-established by that of 1817, and definitively established in 1823.
  The arrondissement of Grasse, which until 1860 belonged to the département of Var, when it was annexed to that of the Alpes-Maritimes, was, in 1886, separated from Fréjus and attached to the Diocese of Nice. A Papal Brief of 1852 authorized the bishop to assume the title of Bishop of Fréjus and Toulon. The present diocese comprises the territory of the ancient Diocese of Fréjus as well as that of the ancient Diocese of Toulon.
  Since 16 May 2000, the Bishop of Fréjus–Toulon has been Bishop Dominique Marie Jean Rey.
