A brief overview of Cap d'Ail
Sitting right on the border with Monaco, the pretty town of Cap d’Ail is no ordinary seaside resort. The stunning beaches, luxury real estate and fascinating past have been drawing crowds to Cap d’Ail for years. Historically one of the oldest communes on the French Riviera, Cap d’Ail actually only became an official French town in 1906. Before that, the town variously belonged to Italy, Monaco, Italy once again, Sardinia and finally France in 1860. The Italian invasion left the greatest impression on the area as the name Cap d’Ail is thought to be taken from the Italian ‘Cap d’Aglio’ or Cape of the Bee. The town’s coat of arms still features 3 bees plus the town’s historic Tour d’Aglio or bee tower, so there seems to be no escaping Cap d’Ail’s cosmopolitan past. Bordered by mountains on one side, and the Mediterranean on the other, this little resort town is absolutely enchanting, the perfect spot for a base in the South of France. Take advantage of the beautiful scenery and golden sunshine to start a new life on the French Riviera today.
