Espace Mer et Littoral

About 27 acres of gardens 30 meters above the sea, with hundreds of kinds of roses and an olive grove planted for the children of the millennium.

Steps from the sea, with 95 rooms including triple and quadruple sea-view ones, and the Aquasplash water park and Adventure Golf a short walk away.

Beach and restaurant on the Garoupe bay, with two wooden pontoons over clear water, Mediterranean cooking and a view across the Baie des Anges to the Alps.

Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's Riviera days played out at this Art Deco hotel of 43 rooms, which has a beach for swimming, a pontoon and water skiing.

Sailors' chapel hung with ex-votos (paintings, drawings, carvings) beside the lighthouse, up a short climb with a view over a good part of the coast.

A run of public beaches from the center out toward Golf-Juan, with lifeguard posts and food along the way and private beach clubs in every stretch.
