Agay (Saint-Raphaël)
Agay is a village district of Saint-Raphaël in the south-east of France in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Agay is located directly on the coast of the Côte d'Azur (French riviera). Situation Agay is east of Saint-Raphaël, Var, Saint-Raphaël and west of Cannes. Due to its location on the Mediterranean, it is a popular tourist destination, but is less visited than Saint-Tropez and Nice, which are in the immediate vicinity. Agay is a natural harbour, i.e., a bay wider than its opening to the sea, allowing ships to anchor calmly. The bay of Agay is almost circular (in two juxtaposed circles), facing south, and protected from the wind by the hills that surround it, culminating rapidly at (Rastel d'Agay). The bay lies at the heart of the massif de l'Esterel, a volcanic mountain range of low altitude but steep slopes, criss-crossed by a major network of faults running in two perpendicular directions, north–south and west–east.
