The RN8 heads East alongside the A50 autoroute to Aubagne passing north of Mt St Cyr (609 m). The road heads Southeast below the Massif de la Sainte Baume and over the Col de l'Ange (218 m). The road then passes the Parc d'OK Corral and motor racing circuit Circuit du Castellet Paul Ricard. The road turns South past Le Beausset and the Gorges de Saint Anne as well as the le Gros Cerveau.
The road then enters Le Seyne-sur-Mer and Western Toulon running along the waterfront and harbour. The road ends at the start of the A57 autoroute and the RN96 and RN97.
