The Corniche d'Or ("Golden coast road"), created in 1903, is definitely one of the most beautiful roads in France: It's only 25 miles long (until Cannes) but every curve of the road is a breathtaking postcard (we'll make many stops for pictures like the ones on this page). We will drive along beautiful beaches, creeks and through charming seaside resorts. And we don't have to go off track for very long to find a beautiful village of the Middle-Ages or a "hidden" waterfall...

And what if I tell you that, on that road, only 20 mn drive from Saint-Raphaël, I know the way to one of the most charming creeks? It's not a secret place but not too many people know about it and, if we go in the morning, we can have it just for ourselves for a while...  

OK, we will find a shingle beach there (and you know I don't like pebbles) but how could I not make an exception to the rule if it's to get access to this:

WARNING: there are many steps to get down there (and to go back up) but sometimes natural beauty comes with a price. Your call...

And, you know what, the inflatable blue boat on this picture is mine and can be brought and used with no supplement for your kids' delight!
