Facing the sea, Rayol Canadel stretches out into a semi circle of greenery.
To the north of the town is the Maures mountains, and to the south is
the rocky coast formed of headlands, creeks and bays all sheltering four
sand beaches. One of these beaches was the choice for the allied debarkation
on the 14th of August, 1944.
This is a highly wooded area (80% of the town) with forests of cork
oaks, heather, and mimosa. It is also the setting for some very beautiful
Mediterranean homes. If you visit the Domaine du Rayol, for example,
you wilt be able to imagine the activity on the Corniche des Maures
at the beginning of the century when these incredible houses and gardens
were in the making.
A must: the monumental staircase which leads to the sea, and the stairs
in the center of town which end up at a round pergola : the Pateck.
