Domaine du Rayol - The emblematic Hotel de la mer in Rayol Canadel is to begin a major transformation. The structural and visual restoration work on the main building of the Domaine du Rayol is set to start this summer and to complete the budget, the Jardin des Méditerranées is calling for donations. Since the acquisition of the Domaine du Rayol by the Coastal Conservatory in 1989, the Hôtel de la mer has not had a real facelift.
