Boulouris, Coastal residential district in Saint-Raphaël, France.
Boulouris stretches along the Mediterranean coast for approximately six kilometers, featuring nine natural beaches formed by rocky spurs and volcanic porphyry coves.
Originally called Boulerie, this area was a communal forest crossed by a valley before the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean railway line was installed in 1864.
The district has hosted numerous famous artists in its villas including Sarah Bernhardt, Mucha, and Raoul Dufy, contributing to its cultural and artistic reputation.
Residents benefit from a railway station facilitating transportation, a weekly Monday market, and a 2,200-meter sports course equipped with various exercise facilities.
The semaphore installed in 1860 at the top of Cap Dramont occupies the location of an ancient watchtower, witnessing the maritime history of the region.
