Nice to Cap Ferrat and Beaulieu-sur-Mer: Private day trip

Walk gardens and paths on the Riviera’s most exclusive peninsula

Begin with a visit to the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Step inside its rooms, then walk through nine themed gardens overlooking the sea. After the villa, head into the small port of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Pause for a coffee by the harbor before following one of the coastal paths around the peninsula. Along the way, you’ll glimpse hidden coves and villas tucked behind the trees. Stop to take in the views over the water, then continue back toward the village. The peninsula is quiet, green, and full of sea air. It’s an elegant contrast to the busier towns nearby.

Step into Belle Epoque elegance by the sea

Start your visit at the waterfront promenade, shaded with palms and lined with cafes. From here, continue toward the Villa Kerylos, a Greek-style mansion with marble floors, mosaics, and views across the bay. After the villa, walk into the old town. Browse the market stalls or stop in small shops before carrying on toward the Casino de Beaulieu and the surrounding Belle Epoque hotels. Finish your visit at the beach, Plage des Fourmis is the most famous. Sit on the sand or stroll along the bay, watching the boats in the harbor. Beaulieu feels polished, calm, and very Riviera
