Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer

Friday, 30 June 2017

We had already been to Cassis and Antibes on the the Cote d'Azur, but the sea was calling and after a hot tip from Alison's French friend to visit the area around Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, we decided to give it a go - and we were thrilled with the outcome. 




A terrific coastline, sandy beaches, just enough in the way of restaurants and shops alongside the beach to serve a purpose without ruining the serenity. Stopping here in the first week of June I am sure feels different to even the last week of June. We didn't encounter crowds, delays, surges in pricing or a lack of accomodation options! Yay!

We were able to pull up right alongside our favourite stretch of Cavalière beach 3 days in a row. The first day was to check it out, play in the sand, build some awesome sand castles, and to have the first beer of the day on the beach at 6.30pm (Sydney time).

When we realised that there was more on offer we figured we'd come back; so we did, two evenings in a row. The amazingly friendly and welcoming La Voile de Cavalière was the perfect spot. A boat club during the day, turns to bar in the evening with biere, vin et cocktail on offer. The owners are lovely people, sun-kissed and half-cut by 5pm, they drink about as much as they serve and it seems they know just about every customer in the place.

They had convinced us to return a second night in a row after having to ask us to leave (closing time) on the first night.




Shoes off, feet in the sand, E playing happily, sun setting... don't you just love it when you find a perfect little slice of paradise.

I miss you Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer. X
