After a leisurely breakfast on your sweeping terrace, ease into the day with a stroll around the cobbled streets of medieval Roquebrune. Climb the ancient stone steps and enjoy endless sea views from Château de Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a castle dating back to the 10th century, believed to be the oldest in France. Wind back down through the maze of meandering streets lined with citrus-coloured houses to marvel at the 2000-year-old olive tree that still bears fruit each year.

Trace the footsteps of modernist architect Le Corbusier along the coastal pathway that bears his name from Roquebrune Cap-Martin to Menton. Follow the jagged coastline and crystalline waters to discover secluded beaches, hidden villas and beautiful gardens blooming with local flora and exotic plants from other shores.

Originally from the Swiss Jura, architect and painter Le Corbusier was drawn to the wild landscape and simplicity of the buildings that dotted the French Riviera. Corbusier built his Cabanon de Vacances in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin as a personal retreat in 1951, holidaying in the tiny, modular cabin every August for 18 years. An archetypal expression of minimalist needs, it’s now inscribed as his smallest UNESCO World Heritage site.

Seduced by the rugged landscape and steep cliffs of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Anglo-Irish architect Eileen Gray designed and built Villa E-1027 between 1926 and 1929, just a stone's throw from the sea. An avant garde union of function and sophistication, E-1027 is celebrated not only for its modernist and sparing form, but the multi-function, space-saving furniture that Gray designed especially for the villa.

Experience a culinary journey through the heart of the French Riviera while enjoying the spectacular sea view. Savor a cuisine that elevates local gastronomic classics with refined interpretations, inviting you on a journey along the coastline. Imagine tasting the catch of the day 'alla Ligure', Spaghetti alla Genovese, or the famous Tarte Tropézienne.
