Chateau de Roquebrune, Medieval castle in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France.
The castle stands 26 meters high on a rocky outcrop, featuring walls between two and four meters thick with defensive elements including cannon embrasures and arrow slits.
Conrad I, Count of Ventimiglia, constructed this fortress at the end of the 10th century to prevent Saracen settlements in the Mediterranean coastal region.
The castle's main hall, which hosted feudal ceremonies, received a coffered ceiling in 1528 following restoration work after a fire in 1506.
The castle operates daily from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM during summer months and from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM in winter, with adult admission at 5 euros.
The artillery platform at the top level provides views extending across the village rooftops, Mediterranean Sea, Cap Martin, Monte Carlo, and Mont Agel.

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.
