Along the way, there are numerous views of the Mediterranean. <\/p><p data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"3069\">One of the most memorable sights is the view of \u00cele d\u2019Or, a small rocky islet off the coast that has become one of the symbols of the coastline.<\/p><p data-start=\"3071\" data-end=\"3316\">To continue your exploration, the Corniche d\u2019Or road then takes you along the coast for nearly 40 kilometres.

Its landscape is characterised by red pebbles and Mediterranean vegetation that slopes down to the sea. <\/p><p data-start=\"4026\" data-end=\"4222\">The coastline around Saint-Rapha\u00ebl stretches for around 36 kilometres and boasts nearly 28 beaches. This variety means you can experience very different atmospheres in just a few minutes. <\/p><p data-start=\"4224\" data-end=\"4480\">For a different perspective on these landscapes, a catamaran cruise through the Est\u00e9rel\u2019s rocky coves is also a wonderful experience.
