Wake me up in St-Raphael
Article Abstract:
The town of St-Raphael, on France's Cote d'Azur, offers a fascinating view of the life of ordinary French people in this region. It has many shops and restaurants, but does not feel invaded by tourists. It does not attract the rich and famous, and this makes it much more interesting for people seeking a taste of authentic French life.
