Le Corbusier Walk, Coastal footpath in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France
The Le Corbusier Walk extends 5 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast between Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Monaco, featuring rocky terrain and sea views.
The path carries the name of architect Le Corbusier, who frequented this area and died while swimming near these shores in 1965.
Multiple architectural landmarks line the route, including Villa Cyrnos and Villa Cypris, representing the development of the French Riviera over 150 years.
The trail takes approximately two hours to complete and includes both flat sections and staircases, with access points from Carnolès train station.
Natural vegetation grows alongside the path, creating a contrast between wild Mediterranean plants and the constructed elements of the coastal walk.

Between Nice and Monaco, coastal trails provide the opportunity to explore the Mediterranean coastline through various routes. The Cap d'Ail Coastal Path, Nietzsche's Path in Èze with 400 meters of elevation gain, and the Mont Boron Park in Nice with its 11 kilometers of marked trails allow exploration of the region from different perspectives. These routes alternate between seaside sections and uphill segments, offering views over the coast and inland areas. The geological diversity of the region is evident in the limestone cliffs lining the Route des Crêtes between La Ciotat and Cassis, the rock formations of Cap d'Ail, and the red rocks of the Esterel Massif. Further inland, the Verdon Gorges feature a canyon 700 meters deep, while the Mercantour National Park houses the Sentier des Géants within its ancient forest. The historical heritage marks these routes: the Nice Observatory on Mont Gros dates from the 19th century, Fort La Revere overlooks the coast from 696 meters altitude, and Saint-Honorat Island preserves its active monastery. These trails serve as direct accesses to the nature and history of the French Riviera.
The region between Monaco and Saint-Tropez features historical sites, villas, Mediterranean gardens, art museums and markets. The area includes medieval villages, coastal paths, ancient monuments, orthodox cathedrals and modern architecture. The locations offer views of the Mediterranean Sea, bays and ports.
