Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Mediterranean coastal commune in Alpes-Maritimes, France
Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a seaside town on the Mediterranean coast with two ports, two beaches, and numerous buildings from the 19th century overlooking the sea. The place spreads over about two kilometers of coastline with dense construction from that period.
The town separated from Villefranche-sur-Mer in 1891 and received its current name after being known as Belloloco under the County of Nice's rule. This independence marked the start of its development as a separate coastal settlement.
Villa Kerylos displays a complete recreation of an ancient Greek house with authentic marble and mosaics that visitors can explore today. This building shapes the town's character and reflects how wealthy people lived when it was constructed.
The train station next to Place Georges Clemenceau connects the town with Nice, Monaco, and other French Riviera destinations. This network lets visitors easily explore the region and arrive from different directions.
Villa Kerylos was built between 1902 and 1908 and is one of the few fully preserved recreations of an ancient private house in Europe. The building displays details of Greek daily life using original techniques and materials that preserve the craftsmanship of that time.
