Beaulieu-sur-Mer

Beaulieu-sur-Mer beach

Only 6km west of Nice, Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a stately parade of Belle-Epoque villas bordering a seaside promenade and sandy beaches. The abundant greenery flourishing along the promenade and throughout the town perfumes the air and creates a calm, flowery setting for a resort holiday.

What to See & Do

There are two delightful beaches of gravelly sand on either side of Beaulieu's small port. The shallow water is calm but when you're ready for more exertion, take a stroll along the shady seaside promenade Maurice Rouvier which leads directly to Saint Jean-Cap Ferrat. Make sure to stop at the Villa Kerylos, an exact replica of an ancient Greek villa with every detail scrupulously researched and reproduced. Visit the lavishly furnished interior and then stroll on the botanical trail through the gardens. And at night, you can try your luck in the Grand Casino housed in a handsome early-20th-century building.
