Welcome to Saint-Raphaël
Red rocks drop into clear water along the Corniche d'Or, and Saint-Raphaël's sandy bays stay sheltered even when the mistral picks up elsewhere on the French Riviera. You can sail out to the Estérel massif's coastline, dive around underwater Roman ruins, or cycle the coastal path toward Fréjus. Resorts in Saint-Raphaël line the waterfront and the quieter coves, making it easy to move between the sea and the hills.
