It was almost 5 o’clock this afternoon when we decided to drive to Saint-Raphaël. This lovely seaside resort is located in the department of the Var; using the highway, it’s about 45 minutes from our home (though coming back following the Mediterranean along the Corniche d’Or takes over an hour, and sometimes quite a bit longer depending on how many frightened tourists are crawling along the narrow and winding road that is squeezed between the sea and the Esterel). Today’s photo was taken at 6:48 p.m. from location N 43° 25.45', E 6° 45.90' and looking in a southeasterly direction (you can “fly” there by firing up Google Earth; the level of detail available for this area is remarkable). More about Saint Raphaël tomorrow.
