Set between the Mediterranean and the red-rock landscapes of the Estérel Massif, Saint-Raphaël combines Riviera glamour with a more relaxed coastal character. Its historic centre, old port, and palm-lined waterfront reflect a long history as a seaside resort, while nearby beaches, coves, and forested hills offer easy access to the natural beauty of the Côte d'Azur. With Roman and medieval traces, elegant Belle Époque influences, and a strong connection to the sea, Saint-Raphaël makes an appealing stop on the French Riviera.
