Beausoleil's Unmissable Gems

Perched on the hills overlooking Monaco, Beausoleil serves as a gateway to the French Riviera's most iconic landmarks. This selection spans from the Belle Époque elegance of the Monte-Carlo Casino and the Roman-era Trophy of Augustus in La Turbie to the Greek-inspired architecture of Villa Kerylos. The list features the legendary Circuit de Monaco, the cliffside Exotic Garden, and Jean Cocteau’s artistic legacy at Villa Santo Sospir, all set against panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline.
