Day 30
Saint Rafael
May 3, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We sailed up to Saint Rafael after our dinghy visit to Saint Tropez yesterday. It's actually much prettier than Tropez as the town is on a huge, lovely beach with a promenade, and the French requisite: a ferris wheel and carousel. There are 3 marinas and after stopping in one, had to move to another. Disappointing as the showers were cold and the electrical connection didn’t work! But we needed to stay as we had to train back to Marseille and didn’t want to leave the boat at anchor all day. But that’s another story...Read more
Traveler The French have certainly not welcomed you with open arms!

Traveler An aberration, I think. People have mostly been lovely although they can exhibit an attitude of self-importance, be demanding and unhelpful.

Day 25
Gin & tonic on the terrace
May 28, 2022 in France ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
We headed into the actual town of Saint Raphael which unfortunately takes walking down our steep hill and then walking a mile to get the the train station and then only a quick 7 minute ride, haha when the Airbnb said you should have a car they might have been right. But it’s a nice walk along the beach and after getting groceries and macaroons we got to have the best relaxing dinner and drinks while watching the sunset from our little home for the week! Mike and Anna crushed that Mac and cheese!Read more

Day 6
Beachparty
August 26, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Am morgen des 6. Tages gab es eine ausführliche Yoga Session, um nach der ganzen hochhalterei wieder Kraft zu schöpfen. Danach haben die Burger und Kollege Kilian einige Meter für die Fitness gemacht. Nach einer kurzen Abkühlung im Pool des Campingplatzes ging es in Runde 2 von unserem Roadtrip Quiz. Wieder mit Hagner als Quizmaster, ging es diesmal ums Allgemeinwissen. ⁉️

Um 15:30 Uhr saß ein Großteil der Jungs gemeinsam versammelt und genoss den 2. Spieltag der Bundesliga (also eigentlich alles wie daheim). Im Anschluss hieß es für manche wieder hochhalten und für andere etwas Kraft tanken für die abendlichen Pläne in Saint-Raphaël. Mit der 1. Runde Bierpong des Urlaubs, wurde der Abend dann offiziell eröffnet! 🏓

Mit dem coolsten Uber Fahrer ging es Abends dann im Tesla und lauter Musik an die Strandpromenade von Saint-Raphaël. Dort angekommen ging es nach einem schönen Gruppenbild, auch schon in den Beachclub.
Die halbe Stunde Happy Hour wurde von der ganzen Truppe voll ausgeschöpft! Der Club war sehr cool, mit Outdoor Bereich direkt am Hafen. Es wurde bis halb 4 gelacht, getrunken und getanzt. 🕺🏼

Von Bormes les Mimosas sind wir nun nach Saint Raphael gefahren. Auch hier waren sehr viele Plätze voll. Wir fanden den Campingplatz
" Campeole le Dramont" und bekamen einen guten Stellplatz.
Das Restaurant am Platz war in Ordnung.
Einkaufsmöglichkeiten befanden sich in direkter Nähe.
Es war Oktober und der Rezeptionist erklärte uns, dass sie die beste Saison seit 6 Jahren hatten.
Wir genossen die Tage mit schwimmen im Meer, Radfahren und nichts tun.😊🍷🍺🏖️Read more

Our car has reliably brought us from Munich to Fréjus.

Therefore, it has truly earned some care.

Getting ready for Lucas!

Day 22
St-Raphael
September 19, 2018 in France ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
So I started the day with the intention of going to Cannes. (Where the famous music festival takes place). Once there I didn't really love the place. It's full of luxury boutiques: Gucci, Prada, etc. and the beach is not that fantastic. So I hopped back on the train to head to St-Raphael. Oh yes. I need to mention that the train broke down again. And we needed to wait an hour for it to be repaired. Why are these trains always breaking when I take them?

Anywho, this village is super adorable and the hotel I got is gorgeous. Since I am staying with a friend's mom for a few days over the weekend I can splurge on nice hotels for the next 3 nights right! Sylviane put me in contact with her friends mom who lives near Marseille (Aix de provence) so she offered me a room for the weekend since I will be in the area. Yay! :-)

Again today was the beach (I am getting so brown) and visiting the town. This place is where the richs come. The yatchs here are unreal...

P.s. Since I have been seeing at least 1 Pomeranian per day since I've been here I started taking pictures of the daily Pom to send to my mom. Thought ide share this one as it looks like Misty.

14 days until I see you misty ❤Read more
