Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer
Beaches
It has one beach at Canadel and another at Le Rayol. Carla Bruni, model, singer and wife of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, visited the beach at Canadel before she became famous. For many years until 2007, there was a swimming race around the headland from one beach to the other but it was stopped after health and safety concerns. Every year there is a fireworks display on 15 August to celebrate when Allied troops landed on the beaches during World War II to liberate France in Operation Dragoon.
Domaine du Rayol
The Domaine du Rayol is the most popular attraction in the village and contains gardens of plants from around the world. In this place David Coverdale and John Sykes began to conceive, to cook, to create, what would later be the band's most successful album, the 1987 album, here came Is This Love and also Still Of The Night among other songs.
