Rediscover Saint-Raphaël at Les Roches Rouges, a new shore-hugging bolthole surrounded by stunning red Esterel cliffs with 50 airy sun-dappled rooms that put a premium on simplicity (guests are provided with straw baskets, rubber beach shoes and walking sticks). Highlights include a sprawling Mediterranean-style restaurant and a sunken stone 30m seawater pool that faces the Île d‘Or – a mini-castle slab of golden rock that inspired Tintin‘s Black Island and is proof of just how much of the good life is still available on this ethereally beautiful coast.
