Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is a resort town on the Côte d'Azur. It consists of several different parts, from a medieval town to a modern seaside resort. It is a place where artists like to rest, and in the past Coco Chanel and Le Corbusier had their villas here.
The oldest part and one of the greatest attractions of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is the old town on the mountainside. Narrow streets, compact buildings, colorful facades of houses and plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops give it a unique, Mediterranean character. Within it there are, among others Grimaldi Castle, which dates back to the 9th century. Currently, it is open to tourists. While exploring this part of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, you can also admire the beautiful panorama of the coast from the observation deck.
A good place for a walk is the Cap-Martin peninsula with its lush Mediterranean vegetation. There is also a fort from the interwar period and a 1000-year-old olive grows.
The coast at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is also attractive. There are beaches here covered with fine gravel, well-developed and in season filled with guests from all over the world. Movie stars and artists have their villas in the town. The holiday home of Le Corbusier, situated on the slope of the mountains sloping towards the sea, is open to the public.
