Car Hire St Raphael Train Station

In the heart of the French Riviera, St-Raphaël offers all of the glitz and glamour you’d expect from France’s Côte d’Azur. Collect your Avis hire car from the St-Raphaël Train Station and discover the beauty of the south coast at your own pace.

St-Raphaël is divided into sub cities known as Theoule, Agay, Boulouris and Valescure. Backed by verdant mountains, Agay is renowned for its fantastic hikes; the most famous of which is le pic de l'ours, offering striking views out over the Riviera. Nearby Valescure offers excellent golfing facilities, however, St-Raphaël’s main draw sits off its coast.

In the waters around the city, there are a number of antique shipwrecks hiding below the surface. As such, scuba diving is particularly popular here. At the Musée Archéologique de St-Raphaël, there are artefacts from the wrecks on display, and a range of diving equipment from history. Many other watersports are offered in the city too, including sailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding and jet-skiing.

Ancient architecture is also on display, with the 19th century Basilica Notre Dame a standout attraction. The area’s local markets, held weekly on Mondays and Tuesdays, boast an array of local produce and an abundance of fresh seafood. Every day, a fruit and vegetable market is open just behind the harbor.

With glamour, beauty and decadence by the bucket load, St-Raphaël is sure to charm and delight. Experience the joys for yourself with your Avis hire car.

Perched beautifully on the southernmost coast of France, the region surrounding St Raphaël has no end of sightseeing opportunities. The French Riviera is an unforgettable setting for a road trip. Collect your Avis hire car and start your journey through the Côte d’Azure.

Cannes

Just a 45-minute drive north-east of St Raphaël (via the A8), the glamorous seaside destination of Cannes awaits. Oozing sophistication, Cannes encapsulates the luxury and beauty that the Côte d’Azure is known for; grand yachts dot its marina and high-end restaurants and boutiques fill its streets. Explore its old quarter for a slice of history and wander La Croisette, a palm-lined promenade lining the impeccable coastline. Experience local life by visiting Marché Forville, a fantastic food market which also supplies many of the restaurants in the town.

St-Tropez

Another glittering jewel of the Côte d’Azure, St-Tropez is just over an hour south-west of St-Raphaël along the D8. Once a peaceful fishing village, St-Tropez is now a favourite among the jet-setting crowds. North-east of the Vieux Port is the old town, La Ponche, which is still beautifully quaint with cobbled streets and winding pathways. The Musée de l’Annonciade is a must-see for art lovers, and be sure to spend some time relaxing in Place des Lices, the central square lined with cafes.

The Côte d’Azure is world famous for its beauty. Discover it all with your Avis hire car from St-Raphaël Train Station.
