Roquebrune-Cap-Martin brings together two worlds: the medieval perched village of Roquebrune, clinging to the mountain with its 10th-century castle (France's oldest), and the chic Cap-Martin peninsula, a retreat for architects and artists. This is where Le Corbusier built his famous Cabanon in 1952, a minimalist 16 m² cell facing the sea, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Eileen Gray's Villa E-1027, a masterpiece of the modern movement, can be visited by reservation. The millennial olive tree of Roquebrune, over 2,000 years old, is one of the oldest trees in the world. The Cap Martin coastal path offers a sublime walk between pine groves and secret coves.
