Saint-Raphaël, accredited “station classée”, is located at the gateway
to the Esterel Massif. Come and discover its exceptional coastline and
wonderfully-preserved countryside. Its 36 kilometres of coastline will lead you
from the heart of the town on the water’s edge right to the Bay of Agay, passing

This first stop in the Alpes Maritimes region is the birthplace of mimosa.
It is located at the foot of the Tanneron Massif which is home
to the largest mimosa forest in Europe.
Must sees include the Chemin des Douaniers and its castles
before heading into the Estérel Massif where the red volcanic rocks
plummeting into the turquoise water is definitely worth the detour.
