Bonjour from the French Riviera!

6-8 September  2007 (St Raphael @ The French Riviera)

Found Tranquility & Serenity in St Raphael in September... The sun kissed Mediterranean Sea shines with happiness... :-) ( I feel like a "poetress" today... :-)


We had an awesome time in St Raphael, one of the beautiful beach towns of the French Riviera. Here are some moments and sights captured by our camera...

St Raphael Streets....

"Lake_like" waters of the Mediterranean Sea...

Testing the waters... ~22-23 C ?...

Beautiful skies matching beautiful seas...
Calm, blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea...

It is an endless love the one between the Mediterranean sea and the Pine trees...



Posing for the camera after a little picnic on the rocks.
" I swear it wasn't me who plucked the palm tree branches... Just saw the wind passing by..."
Every beach town needs some high-rise hotels and apartments, right ?..

At the Marina : "I must get one of these sometime real soon!"
Keen to do some shopping now...
Eventually found some waves... Need to wait a very long time for them to grow enough for surfing though!..
St Raphael at night...
No, I don't know these men at the back either....
Adrenaline filled Parasailing... You must try it sometime too...


Shhhhh! Everybody's Sleeping...
St Raphael from the sea: We had a day trip to St Tropez when we were staying in St Raphael. This and the 2 photos below were taken from the boat while approaching back to St Raphael.
A wider view of the city...
And another...

OK, finished with St Raphael.. where to now ?

In case you wonder where the hell St Raphael is !?... :-)

More specifically the area called the French Riviera starts from Hyeres, ends after Monaco... ("Cote d'Azur" is the French name for the riviera)
Leaving St Raphael by Train for Cannes.. Was a sad farewell, but at the same time we were excited to be going to Cannes... Au revoir from St Raphael...


See you in Cannes!...
