Car rental Saint-Raphael, France

Car Rental Saint-Raphael – Must Know

Many French motorists seem to have an aversion to driving in the right-hand lane on a three-lane road, in effect reducing it to two lanes, but it’s an offence not to move over to the right-hand lane if it’s safe to do so. It’s illegal to overtake on an inside lane unless traffic is being channeled in a different direction. Also you must always come to a complete stop when you’re faced with a Stop sign and a solid white line across the road and ensure that you stop behind the line. 

Attractions in Saint-Raphael

Esterél Forest

The huge expanse of woodland expands to the north east of St Raphael along the coast towards Cannes. You can come here using your car rental vehicle. This large forest is a popular place for visitors in St. Raphael as it is full of interesting and rare plant and animal species, attracted by the consistent warm weather and the tranquillity of the central areas of the forest.

Old Port

One day St Raphael would have been nothing more than a small fishing port, occasionally allowing a larger vessel to dock nearby. The old port still has signs of this humble past and indeed still retains some of the fishing fleet. Shaded by centenary plane trees, you'll love to stroll along the quay and admire the splendid view over the port.  Get car rental St. Raphael and come here as it is a lovely place to sit, relax and watch the boats come in and out of the bay.

Romanesque Church of the Templars Order

The church was built by the Templars in the center of the city in the 12th century. This religious building at the same time served as a fortress to protect the population from attacks of pirates and Saracens. The church can be easily reached with your car rental St. Raphael.
