Saint Raphael 🇫🇷

#traveldiaries I recently spent a lovely day in Saint-Raphaël, and it was such a great mix of relaxation and exploration! 🌊 This coastal town on the French Riviera has some stunning beaches, like Plage de Veillat, where I spent the morning swimming in the clear blue water and lounging on the soft sand. The beach is free, though you can rent sunbeds at nearby beach clubs if you want more comfort. After a relaxing morning, I explored the town’s historic center. One highlight was the Notre-Dame de la Victoire Basilica, a beautiful church with intricate architecture. Entry is free, and it’s worth a visit. In the afternoon, I walked up to the old lighthouse for panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast, which was breathtaking. The town has plenty of little cafes and shops to enjoy, and it’s also close to the Estérel Massif, perfect for hiking and nature lovers. Saint-Raphaël was the perfect spot for a peaceful and scenic getaway. #saintraphael #frenchrivieraescape #beachvibes #exploreprovence #mediterraneanbeauty #coastaladventure
