Cap d'Antibes, Cap d'Ail, Cap Ferrat, Cap Martin, Cap de Nice... Mythical or less known, the caps of the French Riviera are unique spaces on the coastline, where time seems to stand still in front of the intoxicating beauty of the places.
The most beautiful caps of the French Riviera
A cap designates a land point that extends into the sea. Bordered by the coastline, the French Riviera has several of them; benefiting from remarkable natural assets, they are highly sought after today by buyers in search of excellence and unobstructed sea views.
Cap d'Antibes
Wild, rocky, and green, this famous peninsula offers a magnificent walk along its coast lined with Aleppo pines. On the southern tip, the Notre-Dame de la Garoupe chapel offers a sublime panorama of the Mediterranean. Cap d'Antibes is home to one of the most famous villas in the region, Villa Eilenroc, and has high-end residences and mansions.
Cap Ferrat
Cap Ferrat is home to Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat and the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, in the heart of a lush nature thanks to its pine forest located in its center. Two superb routes allow you to appreciate all its natural riches. Nicknamed the "peninsula of millionaires," the place offers one of the most high-end real estate markets on the French Riviera.
Cap d'Ail
Located west of Monaco, Cap d'Ail has an idyllic natural setting that has been popular with personalities for over a century (Cocteau, Greta Garbo, the Lumière brothers, the Prince of Wales). The site is home to several contemporary villas and Belle Époque mansions, as well as a superb interpretation trail that starts from the magnificent Mala beach to the Marquet beach.
Cap Martin
Cap Martin welcomes you at the end of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. It is home to many famous mansions whose architecture and wonderful gardens adorn the places with remarkable beauty.
Cap de Nice
Located on the Mont-Boron massif, Cap de Nice offers a breathtaking view of the harbor and the city. It welcomes beautiful residences and some of the Belle Époque villas that made the reputation of Nice's architecture.
