Beaulieu-sur-Mer
Few places on the French Riviera have a history as closely tied to Belle Époque resort life as Beaulieu-sur-Mer. Set on the Mediterranean between Nice and Monaco, this compact coastal commune developed into a fashionable winter resort in the late 19th century, attracting wealthy European visitors. Its waterfront is organised around the Port de Beaulieu, a marina that remains part of the town’s daily rhythm, with yachts, pleasure craft and a busy shoreline road. Above the port stands Villa Kérylos, completed in 1908 as an early-20th-century re-creation of an ancient Greek villa. The broader coastline also includes the Baie des Fourmis, while Cap Ferrat forms the headland immediately to the east.

Built around the Baie des Fourmis, Beaulieu-sur-Mer grew into an elegant Mediterranean resort on the French Riviera. The town lies between Nice and Monaco, on a stretch of coast edged by the wooded peninsula of Cap Ferrat. Its marina and Belle Époque villas recall the resort’s expansion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Villa Kérylos is its defining cultural landmark: completed in 1908 for archaeologist Théodore Reinach, it was designed by Emmanuel Pontremoli as a richly detailed interpretation of an ancient Greek residence. The Promenade Maurice Rouvier follows the waterfront towards Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Browse additional webcams from the Côte d’Azur to extend your view of the Riviera coast.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur occupies France’s southeastern Mediterranean coast and Alpine borderlands. Its terrain runs from the Rhône delta and the Camargue wetlands to the limestone coves of the Calanques and the high valleys of the French Alps, while the Côte d’Azur forms its celebrated shoreline. Marseille, France’s oldest city, is a major port, and Avignon’s Palais des Papes recalls the 14th-century papal court. Inland, Provençal markets, olive cultivation and lavender-growing areas remain central to regional identity.

The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, together with the Alps, Pyrenees and broad river basins, define much of France — they support maritime trade, farming, wine regions and travel throughout the year. The Seine runs through Paris, where the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are among Europe’s most recognised landmarks. The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life. France’s global cultural influence is evident in its language, literature, fashion and cinema.
