Tour du cap Ferrat, Coastal loop trail in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France.
This circular route extends approximately six to ten kilometers along the Mediterranean coastline, passing rocky cliffs, small beaches, and Mediterranean vegetation while offering views of the sea and surrounding bays.
The peninsula has been inhabited since ancient times, with archaeological evidence of Roman settlements, and later became a retreat for European nobility during the twentieth century, hosting several historic villas.
The area reflects traditional Mediterranean architecture with terracotta roofs and stone facades, and local communities maintain fishing traditions and celebrate festivals highlighting regional cuisine and maritime heritage.
The trail begins at Chemin des Douaniers or near Plage des Fossettes, with parking available in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and walkers should wear sturdy footwear due to uneven terrain and carry water and sun protection.
The route provides access to hidden coves and lookout points where visitors can observe seabirds nesting on cliffs and enjoy the varying shades of blue and turquoise in the clear Mediterranean waters.
