Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat Essentials

This peninsula on the Côte d'Azur features the pink Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild with its nine themed gardens and the 17th-century Chapelle Saint-Hospice. Architectural highlights include Villa Santo Sospir, famous for its Jean Cocteau murals, and the 16th-century Tour Sarrazine defense tower. The landscape is defined by the Phare du Cap Ferrat lighthouse and a series of distinct coastal spots, ranging from the sandy Plage de Passable to the limestone-pebbled Paloma Beach and the snorkeling-friendly Plage des Fossettes.
