Parks and Gardens
Saint-Raphaël’s public gardens range from the expansive Jardin Bonaparte, overlooking the Old Port, to intimate squares dedicated to historical figures like Alphonse Karr and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. These green spaces feature Mediterranean flora, commemorative monuments, and panoramic views of the Estérel coast.
