Théoule-sur-Mer, Coastal municipality in Alpes-Maritimes, France
Théoule-sur-Mer is a coastal town in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region nestled between red rock formations and the Mediterranean. The area includes several beaches and small ports that define its waterfront character.
The settlement began in the 5th century when a local leader named Eucher built a stronghold there. It evolved from a small fishing port into an independent municipality during the 20th century.
The town sits between sea and mountains, where fishing and sailing shape daily rhythms along the water. Local ports and beaches create a lifestyle tied to the seasons and the tides.
The beaches are accessible by the coastal road, with small parking areas near the main entrances. Gentle waters and sandy shores make swimming easy, while rocky coves offer deeper areas for more experienced swimmers.
The red rock cliffs formed through erosion over millions of years and create a distinctive landscape along the French Riviera. Few visitors notice how these formations frame each beach and change color with the light.
