“Walking around Beausoleil gives you a true sense of the Côte d’Azur as it was in the Belle Epoque through its architecture, villas and palaces! The town is known as the ‘Balcony of the Mediterranean’ for a reason. Go to the Mont des Mules and enjoy the panoramic views of Monaco and the magnificent sea!”
To delight visitors during the Belle Epoque, the palaces vied with one another in terms of creativity as nothing was too good for their clientele. The Riviera Palace was popular amongst the jet-set of the Belle Epoque and enjoyed lavish times. It owes its fame to its magnificent winter garden with an exotic array of vegetation. Located at the centre of the building is an impressive glass roof. Spanning over two floors, this spectacular building rising to a height of twenty metres, combines galleries, a roundhouse, an egg-shaped dome, and walls of stone and glass. The architecture of its iron frames is the work of Gustave Eiffel. Enjoy this tour, accompanied by an expert guide.

Beausoleil Marche Eiffel Drone De RegardAs the only sanctuary dedicated to Saint Joseph in the Alpes-Maritimes, this church owes its neo-Romanesque style to Paul Lajoie. Not to be missed are the Art Deco stained-glass windows made by the Mauméjean brothers, world-famous glaziers from the inter-war period, along with the three Art Nouveau windows made by Charles Champigneulle, another distinguished glass craftsman. These windows are real shafts of light, which flood all parts of the building with colour.
