Paris(but not only)  Personal Tours

Good question (glad you spotted it).


You English-speaking-people don't use the diaerasis (¨) much (and I can't blame you for that) so I took the liberty to ease your eyes and not put the two dots over the "e" when I write Saint-Raphael. Except on official documents, it's tolerated it seems... as long as you pronounce the name with three syllables (as the diaerasis is there to separate the sound of the two vowels touching each other. Just to "refresh your memory", you know).

Saint-Raphaël or Saint-Raphael?
