Roquebrune-Cap-Martin stretches between Monaco and Menton, along a stretch of the Riviera where hills descend towards the Mediterranean. The town has a coastline of small beaches and a hilltop old village, with narrow lanes and a medieval castle. The landscape shifts from gardens and seaside villas to slopes planted with olive trees. This is a good stop for travellers looking to combine swimming, coastal walks and sightseeing, while keeping Monaco and Menton on their itinerary.

Bon Voyage Beach is 440 m away, and several other beaches dot the coast. Roquebrune’s old village, 1.5 km away, offers lanes leading up to the Château des Grimaldi, whose ramparts overlook the surrounding area. Villa E-1027, 1.6 km away, is an emblematic work of modern architecture designed by Eileen Gray. Monaco offers other outings, from the Prince’s Palace to the Oceanographic Museum, with its collections devoted to marine life. Roquebrune-Cap-Martin railway station is 1.1 km away; trains connect coastal towns, while Nice Côte d’Azur is the region’s international airport.

In spring and autumn, mild temperatures are well suited to walks between the beaches and old lanes. In summer, swimming and days by the water take centre stage, with more visitors along the coast. You could start the day with a visit to the village and its castle, continue with a break at a beach, then finish in Monaco. For a look at local heritage, Villa E-1027 offers an interesting contrast with Roquebrune’s old façades and fortifications.
