Roquebrune-Cap-Martin: the medieval village on the hill, the pines and the cape below

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the village and the Cap

Roquebrune is a medieval village under the oldest castle in France, perched between Monaco and Menton, and, at its feet, a peninsula of pines and grand villas, Cap-Martin, where Le Corbusier had his cabin and where the coastal path goes round the rocks. Less known than its two neighbours, it is the place to sleep in peace five minutes from Monte-Carlo, and one of the finest walks on the coast.

Things to do

  • Villa E-1027 and Cap Moderne. Eileen Gray's white house, a masterpiece of 1929 restored and open to visitors with the Cabanon, the camping units and the Étoile de Mer: one of the major ensembles of modern architecture, at the water's edge. Guided visits, on reservation.
  • Monaco, five minutes away. The Rock, Monte-Carlo, the harbour: Roquebrune is the immediate neighbour of the Principality, whose towers can be seen from the castle. Monaco has its own fare from Nice, or I drop you there from Roquebrune on request.
  • Menton and the bay of Garavan. On the other side, the old town of Menton and its gardens, ten minutes away via Carnolès. The coastal path leads there on foot in an hour along the seafront promenade.
  • The Vigie and the heights. Above the village, the col de la Coupière and Mont Gros, with their trails, olive terraces and a view as far as the Italian Alps; on the Grande Corniche, La Turbie and the Trophy of Augustus, a quarter of an hour away.
  • Food. The restaurants of place des Deux-Frères, on the terrace facing the Cap; the tables of Cap-Martin and the Basse Corniche at the water's edge; and, in Carnolès, the beach restaurants.
  • The processions. Every 5 August since 1467, the Passion procession crosses the village in costume, in fulfilment of a vow made during the plague: one of the oldest living traditions in the region.

When to come

Winter

The village for its residents, sharp light on Monaco and Italy, the coastal path with no one on it. The Cabanon can be visited all year round on reservation.

Spring

The pines and cistus in bloom on the Cap, the first swims at the Golfe Bleu in May, the village still quiet. The ideal time for the path.

Summer

The coves, evenings on place des Deux-Frères, the procession of 5 August. The village is busy at midday; plan the pick-up early in the morning, when the motorway is clear.

Autumn

Warm water until October, golden light on the Cap, olives being harvested. Roquebrune gets its silence back in September.

The ride from Nice

Twenty-five kilometres separate Nice from Roquebrune.

Tolls are included in the fare. On arrival, I drop you at the exact address of your choice: place de la République for the village, your villa on the Cap, the station or the beach in Carnolès.
