St Raphael’s appeal is comprised of cobblestone paths, seafront promenades, plentiful markets, and the 12th-century church in the Vieille Ville old town. Climb the watchtower at the Église San Rafeu (St Raphael’s church) to get an unparalleled view of the town. Peruse a photo exhibition at Jardin Bonaparte or bring the kids to the park’s play area.

Where is St Raphael, France?
St Raphael is a commune in the Var department, which is in southeastern France’s Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur region. To the west is the popular port town of Fréjus. St Raphael, Fréjus, and several small communes nearby make up the Estérel Côte d’Azur Agglomération.
What makes St Raphael so special for overseas buyers?
The seaside resort of St Raphael is popular with overseas buyers thanks to its location, history, and peaceful charm. Set between the Massif de l’Esterel mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea, you can spend your days camping, hiking, horseback riding or trying out water sports.
Head to the harbor to visit modern cafes and shops, then visit the colorful Old Town nearby. St Raphael also has several fish and produce markets throughout the week.
The St Raphael seafront is rockier than what you’ll find in Cannes or Saint-Tropez, and instead of trendy beachfront clubs, the charm of the area revolves around rural creeks and petite sandy beaches that are only accessible by foot.
St Raphael is also a popular tourist destination in the Var, which is ideal for buyers looking for investment properties. Visitors, especially large groups and families, often look for rental properties instead of hotels for their holidays.

Are there any restrictions for foreign buyers who want to purchase property in France?
No, there aren’t restrictions that prohibit foreign buyers from purchasing property in France. However, overseas buyers will have to provide additional financial documentation to qualify for the purchase of French property. There are also location-based considerations to take into account, like exchange rates and language barriers.
It’s also important to familiarise yourself with French taxes and fees that you may not have in your home country. For example, agent fees, notaire fees, property taxes and exchange rates all factor into the cost of buying a home.
What is the process for purchasing a property in France for foreign buyers?
The first step to purchasing a property in France is working with an estate agent who can match a home to your specifications. Once you’ve found a home you’d like to buy, you’ll make a formal offer in writing to the owner. If the offer is accepted, the notaire will write up an initial contract, which both parties will sign. Around this time, the deposit is due as well.
Next, there’s a 10-day mandatory cooling-off period. During this time, the buyer can decide not to purchase the property and receive their deposit back without penalty. Following the cooling-off period is the conveyancing period, which can last for up to 2 months.
Once that’s finished, the notaire will draw up the final contract, which both parties will sign. Your balance will be due at this time as well.
