A brief overview of Beaulieu-sur-Mer
One-third of the French Riviera’s “golden triangle”, Beaulieu literally means ‘beautiful place’ in French. That’s a pretty good indication that this seaside town is a little bit out of the ordinary. Originally part of neighbouring Villefranche sur Mer, the town of Beaulieu dates all the way back to prehistoric times. Once known as the Greek port of Anao, Beaulieu still retains links with its Grecian past today thanks to the impressive Villa Kerylos museum on the waterfront. And while it may have been a quiet port for many years, the arrival of the Calais-Mediterranean Express on the French Riviera in the 1880’s changed everything. Aristocrats and members of the jet set from all over Europe began to make their way to down to Nice and quickly discovered this beautiful beach resort just a few kilometres down the coast.
Beaulieu won independence from Villefranche in 1891, and soon became a popular winter destination for well-known figures such as Queen Victoria and King Leopold II of Belgium. Architect Gustav Eiffel wintered in Beaulieu for many years and left his mark on the town when he designed the Art Nouveau casino and rotunda down on the waterfront. And American press magnate Gordon Bennett loved Beaulieu so much, he had the town’s first ever phone line installed in his favourite restaurant La Réserve, just to make reservations at his convenience. As beautiful as it is appealing, Beaulieu definitely still has that special ‘je ne sais quoi’ quality about it today. So why not let yourself be tempted by the many charms of this pretty little beach resort and fall in love with Beaulieu sur Mer.
