Saint-Raphaël, Mediterranean coastal commune in Var, France

The commune extends over 36 kilometers of Mediterranean coastline, with numerous beaches and three ports supporting maritime activities throughout the year.

Napoleon Bonaparte arrived by ship from Egypt in 1799, selecting this fishing village as his landing point before continuing his journey through France.

The transformation from fishing village to resort town occurred through the efforts of Mayor Felix Martin and writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr in the 1800s.

The Saint-Raphaël-Valescure train station provides direct connections to Paris and regional destinations through high-speed and local rail services.

The eastern section contains the village of Agay while the western part features the Île d'Or and extensive sandy beaches near downtown.
