1. Stroll through the alleyways in the old town
Head to the historic centre that was once called the “Quartier du Village”…
The “Quartier du Village” in Saint-Raphaël was once inhabited by the local peasants! A daily flower and vegetable market is held there. Take the opportunity during your stroll to visit the Romanesque church of San Raféu, dating from the 12th century and enlarged in the 18th century. Its presbytery now houses the archaeology museum. Climb the 129 steps up the tower, and a superb 360° panorama awaits you: from the summits of the Esterel to the tip of Saint-Tropez via the Villepey ponds, the Roquebrune rock, giving you a breathtaking view of the emblematic Notre-Dame de la Victoire basilica and its Byzantine domes.
