Villa Kérylos is open to the public and regularly hosts events and gatherings centred on antiquity. As a modern reinterpretation of Greek art, the residence is inspired by the architecture discovered on the island of Delos and combines it with the techniques and comforts of the early 20th century.
When staying in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, you may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
Culture and History
The Musée du patrimoine berlugan André Cane displays photographs, postcards, ceramics, Roman coins, anecdotes from the Belle Époque and tools. At the same time, it traces the development of Beaulieu-sur-Mer from a small hamlet into a thriving town.
The Sancta Maria de Olivo Chapel was built on the ruins of a Gallo-Roman temple and has been deconsecrated; today, it hosts temporary exhibitions and other cultural programmes.
Market and Garden
The Marché italien takes place on the first Sunday of every month from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Place Marinoni. Italian products such as cheese, cured meats, fresh pasta, wine, olive oil, focaccia, cakes and biscuits are sold there.
The Jardin de l’Olivaie covers a 6,000 m² garden area with around 100 olive trees that are more than a hundred years old. Every spring, it hosts the Journée au Jardin, featuring themed stalls on ecology, sustainable gardening and environmental protection.
Coast
Plage de la Petite Afrique is a pebble beach east of the harbour, below the cliffs. The beach has play equipment for children. There is also a beach volleyball court, and water sports activities are offered seasonally.
