‘Calm, luxury and voluptuousness’: these words ideally describe this cape located between Nice and Monaco.
The former fishing village became a popular vacation destination at the beginning of the last century with the arrival of wealthy foreign families. Large estates were built there at that time, such as the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Many artists also stayed there, including Jean Cocteau, who left his mark on the Villa Santo Sospir.
Eight kilometers of trails wind along the coastline, offering exceptional panoramic views. The beaches and coves are a true haven of tranquility, and visitors can enjoy a wide range of water sports for a more active vacation.
Must-see: The harbor, the 18th-century Saint-Hospice Chapel and its monumental bronze statue of the Virgin Mary, the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its themed gardens, the Shell Museum (closed for renovations until 2027),
