Fodor's Expert Review Promenade Maurice-Rouvier

Today Beaulieu is usually spoken of in the past tense and has taken on a rather stuffy character. Its small beach, however, attracts families with children, and on the Promenade Maurice-Rouvier, a paved pedestrian path that begins not far from the Villa Kerylos, you can stroll the waterfront, past grand villas and their tropical gardens, all the way to St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The 30-minute walk winds along the Baie des Fourmis (Bay of Ants)—whose name alludes to the black rocks that appear to be "crawling" up from the sea—and has great views of the sparkling Mediterranean and surrounding mountains.
