Saint-Raphaël, where sea and nature live in perfect harmony
Saint-Raphaël is an ode to the French Riviera and its striking contrasts, where the crimson porphyry rocks of the Estérel Massif meet the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Its 34 kilometres of sun-drenched coastline reveal exceptional natural treasures, from secluded calanques to the fragrant trails of the Estérel. A destination with many facets, Saint-Raphaël enchants visitors with its seafront, picturesque streets, museums, lively markets, refined wines and authentic Mediterranean lifestyle.
Nestled against the slopes of the Estérel, its coastline unveils a variety of landscapes, alternating between sandy beaches and pebled shores, intimate coves and rugged calanques.
From its land, the town retains the vibrant spirit of Provence and the rich shades of red for which it is renowned. Explore the Estérel Massif, an outstanding Natura 2000 protected site. On foot or by mountain bike, discover this raw and unspoilt natural environment, perfect for exploration in every season.
Imagine the turquoise waters during a snorkeling session, the deep blue horizon while enjoying a family picnic, the festive illuminations that light up the town at Christmas, tasting a rosé wine produced in the vineyards of Saint-Raphaël, or the indigo hues of a sunset at the end of a hike…
All year round, Saint-Raphaël is here, and nowhere else.
