Domaine du Rayol star : The Michelin guide review

The exceptional Domaine du Rayol is one of the most beautiful sites on the Var coast. It takes its name from the stream that winds through its terraced slopes covered with cork oak, mimosa and pine trees. A vestige from an era of luxury, the Domaine du Rayol was created in the early 20C when bankers and industrialists built holiday homes here. Its magnificent exotic gardens stretch all the way to the coast. A marine trail explores the Mediterranean’s deep-sea wildlife.

    Pros

    Le Rayol est le plus marquant d'une chaine de pierres précieuses qui s'étend du Lavandou à Cavalaire, sous la forme d'une multitude de petites criques facilement accessibles et moyenement fréquentées même en pleine saison. C'est un des plus beaux endroits de la cote d'azur, une symphonie de couleurs, le brun-rouge de la roche, le vert de la végétation, le bleu de la mer, et des fleurs a chaque détour. Mention spéciale pour la plage d'Aiguebelle si vous avez le courage de monter et descendre sa centaine de marches !

    Cons

    Les plongeurs, mais seulement eux aprécieront les fonds sableux couverts de paillettes brillantes de mica, et dont les reflets à la lumière du soleil m'ont incité à les baptiser "les plages d'argent".

    Pros

    wonderful....our souls are still there, like butterflies in the warm sun, on petals and grasses, abundance of plants, little fountains, a delight, even a cafe to rest and refresh...another lifetime to return mon amore...

    Cons

    we went during a very hot and dry part of July! which of course was reflected in the soil and plants. still worth it.
