Fantastic. Amel went above and beyond the call of duty. She is a force of nature and one of the more capable Yachtsmen I've had the pleasure of meeting. It's a busy outfit and they do their best in that environment.

We spent the whole day with Jean Baptiste exploring the coastline of the Esterels. His local knowledge and passion for the area and the sea is evident! For this time of year, the weather was perfect so we swam and enjoyed a charcuterie lunch and wine that he provided. He is also a scuba dive teacher so we learned about the best areas to dive and even did a little snorkeling around natural caves.

Why sailing in Saint Raphael

Situated on the Cote-d’Azur, the town of Saint Raphael lies on the stretch of coastline named The French Riviera. Albeit its small population of 34,000, it is a lively seaside town nestled between the towns of Frejus, Cannes, and St. Tropez. The town itself is well-maintained. It has a small harbour which is surrounded by beaches from both sides. It stands in the shadow of the beautifully rigged hills of Massif des Maures.

Saint Raphael has a rich history dating back to 2000 years. There has been evidence found that show that this little coastal town was a popular destination where the rich Romans frequented. They used this place as a getaway to relax in the summers.

Currently, Saint Raphael is a favourite amongst all the towns situated along the Cote-d’ Azur. With 36 kilometres of coastline, the town has a total of 30 beaches. Another unique attraction of the town is the coastal path that leads to the volcanic mountain range of Esterel Massif.

The town is planned in such a way that gives a very welcoming and hospitable feel. The oldest building in town goes all the way back to the 12th century. It is the church of Saint-Raphael (Eglise San Rafeu). Aside from the Romans, there were also signs found by archaeologists that show the prehistoric and ancient Greek occupation.

Adding to the welcoming and homely feel is the food market at Place Victor Hugo and Place de la Republique. It is also home to many famous artistic personalities namely Victor Hugo, Georges Sand, Guy de Maupassant, Frederic Mistral, and Alexandre Dumas. All these names add greatly to the cultural heritage as well as the rich history of the town.

All in all, if you're looking for a spot to relax, Saint Raphael is the perfect spot for you.
