Charming seaside resort located not far from Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël, Agay takes place in the heart of the Var, on the Côte d'Azur. The town nestled at the foot of Rastel d'Agay is well sheltered between Cap Dramont and Pointe de la Baumette.

A natural gateway to the Estérel massif, Agay shows traces of occupation dating from prehistoric times. Developed by the Greeks, the town has continued to evolve over the centuries, in particular with the construction of fortifications on the seafront at the request of Richelieu. But it was during the Belle Époque that the town really took off. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century thus developed seaside tourism as well as the exploitation of porphyry quarries.

The calm and a nature that has been preserved over the years makes it today one of the jewels of the Côte d'Azur and a privileged vacation spot on a human scale, just like the "sport and nature" activities, infrastructure, shops and services offered on site.

Agay is a seaside resort that is part of the municipality of Saint-Raphaël

Things to see and do

As you stroll through the town, you can admire the old Belle Époque villas which still stand proudly.

Much appreciated by sailors, the town also offers access to three fine sandy beaches as well as a unique view of the bay from the summit of Rastel. A small port of 166 places not lacking in charm is also accessible. Over the years, it has already won over such illustrious figures as Guy de Maupassant and Antoine de St-Exupéry and inspired Albert Cohen, who set the plot of his most famous novel, Belle du Seigneur, there.

Don't miss going to discover the Little Prince fountain in the car park of the shopping center of the bastide d'Agay, before going to the Baumette lighthouse.

With its many creeks, the Corniche d'Or is not lacking in interest either, as is the old post office in Art Nouveau style which is now used as a private residence.

The classified Estérel massif also allows for walks, mountain biking or horseback riding in order to enjoy breathtaking landscapes. The tourist office also offers walks accompanied by an ONF guide to discover the local flora and fauna.
