The
coast
road
along
the
Mediterranean
is
very
beautiful
in
many
areas,
but
perhaps
one
very
memorable
part
of
this
scenic
highway
is
between
St.
Tropez
and
Cannes.
The
15
miles
(or
so)
stretch
between
Ste.
Maxime
and
St.
Raphael
in
particular,
really
is
breathtakingly
beautiful.
|
| The
road
is
very
very
busy
in
the
months
of
June,
July
and
August,
but
when
my
wife
and
I
last
drove
along
it,
it
was
a
beautiful
mid-September
Sunday
afternoon
and
the
traffic
was
light
enough
to
allow
us
to
stop
occasionally
and
enjoy
the
views.

RVing
is
very
popular
in
France
and
you
see
many
RVs
as
you
drive
along
the
road.
Parking
places
are
adequate
to
allow
them
to
stop
and
take
in
the
view.

RVs

Camping
Car)

The
road
from
St.
Tropez
to
Cannes
passes
through
many
wonderful
towns
and
villages
-
Ste.
Maxime,
St.
Aygulf,
St.
Raphael
are
among
the
most
memorable.
|
|
This
shows
St.
Raphael
-
a
beautiful
town
along
the
way.
My
wife
and
I
had
lunch
here
-
a
wonderful
meal
of
fish
soup
and
fresh
fish.

Although
the
restaurants
are
very
good
-
and
some
are
very
very
good
-
picnicing
is
popular.
All
along
this
stretch
of
road
are
place
you
can
stop
and
find
a
little
stretch
of
sand
or
a
little
cove
and
enjoy
some
of
the
wonderful
bread
and
foods
that
can
be
bought
in
any
French
supermarket.

I agree that this stretch of road is really wonderful. A good round trip is to drive the coast road and then come back by the mountain road (the N7) between Cannes and Frejus. This mountain road is very beautiful also. The coast road is OK but I wouldn't like to drive the mountain road with an RV.

Saint Aygulf is a beautiful village situated on the Cote D'Azur. Near to St Raphael, Sainte Maxime and St Tropez. Inland visit the perched villages of Fayence and Montauroux
