Beaulieu-sur-Mer, highly regarded as a marina, lies in the eastern part of the Côte d'Azur, about halfway between Nice and Monaco. Protected from the north winds by ranges of hills, Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a popular summer and winter holiday resort. Abundant vegetation flourishes in the especially mild climate.
High above the sea in a magnificent park on the road towards Beaulieu can be found the Musée Ile-de-France, founded by Ephrussi de Rothschild. It houses a ceiling fresco by Tiepolo, paintings, furniture and other works of art from the 14th to the 19th C. from Europe and the Far East.
In Beaulieu sur Mer, the modern holiday seaside settlement of Petite Afrique (Little Africa) is protected by steep cliffs up to 300m/985ft high and has a good pebble beach.
Villa Grecque Kérylos is constructed in the style of a 2nd century Greek palace. The villa is furnished and decorated entirely as it would have been in Ancient Greece.
