Beaulieu-sur-Mer: the baie des Fourmis, a villa on the rocks and the pines at first light

Beaulieu-sur-Mer, the Belle Époque at the foot of the cliffs

Between Villefranche and Cap Ferrat, Beaulieu is a small town squeezed between the sea and a 500-metre cliff, which gives it one of the mildest climates in France. The 19th-century winter visitors covered it with villas, palaces and gardens; what remains is a casino, a Rotunda, stucco façades and, on the tip of the baie des Fourmis, the Kérylos villa, a Greek house of Antiquity rebuilt stone by stone. Everything is on foot, on the flat, in ten minutes.

Things to do

  • The Maurice-Rouvier promenade. From the baie des Fourmis to the harbour of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a flat path at the water's edge, between the villa gardens and the rocks: thirty minutes, with the view over Beaulieu, Èze and the bay. The easiest walk on the coast, suitable for a pushchair.
  • Cap Ferrat and the Ephrussi de Rothschild villa. Five minutes away, the peninsula of the grand villas: the nine gardens of the Ephrussi villa and its collections, the coastal path, the beaches of Passable and Paloma. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat has its own fare from Nice, or I drop you there from Beaulieu on request.
  • The market and the shops. The market on place du Marché every morning, the covered hall, the bakeries and delicatessens of boulevard Marinoni: Beaulieu is a town of residents, with real food shops.
  • Food. The restaurants of the harbour and the baie des Fourmis, the palace restaurants at the water's edge, including the Réserve de Beaulieu, and, for a simple lunch, the terraces of the church square.
  • The sea. Boat trips to Cap Ferrat, Villefranche and Monaco from the harbour; diving on the drop-offs of the Cap; kayaking and paddle-boarding from the Petite Afrique in calm seas.
  • Èze, just above. The hilltop village is ten minutes away by the Moyenne Corniche, or an hour and a half's climb by the Nietzsche path from Èze-sur-Mer, the next station. Èze has its own fare from Nice.

When to come

Winter

Beaulieu's historic season: mild weather, terraces in the sun, the Kérylos villa without a queue, the promenade to Saint-Jean deserted. Hotels are at their lowest.

Spring

The gardens in bloom, the sea warm enough from late May in the baie des Fourmis, the cliffs in the morning light. The ideal time for the promenade and the Cap.

Summer

Swimming, the harbour in the evening, concerts and fireworks over the bay. The town stays quieter than Nice or Monaco; plan the pick-up early in the morning, when the Basse Corniche is clear.

Autumn

Warm water until October, golden light on the cliffs, the market in full season. Beaulieu gets its residents and its winter prices back in September.

The ride from Nice

About ten kilometres separate Nice from Beaulieu. I go through the port of Nice then along the Basse Corniche, which skirts Mont Boron, follows the bay of Villefranche and reaches Beaulieu by the seafront: the most direct and the most beautiful route. At rush hour, the Moyenne Corniche and the descent by the col d'Èze avoid the seafront. No tolls. On arrival, I drop you at the exact address of your choice: hotel, station, harbour, beach or the Kérylos villa.

To Nice

The return: Beaulieu-sur-Mer → Nice

Same €50 fixed fare the other way, to Nice city centre or the airport, no surcharge. Recommended pick-up: Beaulieu-sur-Mer railway station, your hotel or any address in town.
