After a brief review of the main scientific motivations of LAGUNA, European cooperation projects (GLACIER, LENA and MEMPHYS), and of the virtues of the Frejus site, a preliminary feasibility study for a Megaton-scale Underground Laboratory at Frejus is presented and its positive results discussed. The need for a future more detailed investigation (Design Study), which will be performed in the framework of the LAGUNA collaboration, is stressed. The excellent opportunity presented by the recently approved Frejus Safety Tunnel (d = 8 m) project is also underlined.
