SAINT JEAN CAP FERRAT
One of the pearls of the French Riviera, such is Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The seaside village is nested around a cove on the eastern side of the peninsula jutting into the blue Mediterranean, next to Beaulieu-sur-Mer and to Villefranche-sur-Mer and only six miles from Monaco.
Its port was once a small fishing harbour until two rich bankers decided to build their luxurious homes in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and It has evolved into a larger marina sheltering some of the most luxurious yachts in the Mediterranean. Since then, the villas of Cap Ferrat are some of the most prestigious pieces of real estate in Europe and is well known for being a playground for rich and famous. It has hosted a plethora of celebrities, among others: King Leopold II of Belgium, Baroness de Rothschild, Charlie Chaplin, Rainier III, Jean Cocteau and more lately Elton John, Jack Nicholson, Bill Gates, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to name a few.
Saint Jean Cap Ferrat is a rather small and very exclusive place with clean, turquoise water including one that has been voted one of the ten best beaches on the Côte d'Azur.
Cap Ferrat has so much to offer. If you are looking for french mouthwatering cuisine, It has a few great and renowned gourmet restaurants.
Art lovers will be delighted to explore the Ephrussi de Rothschild villa or Villa Santo Sospir decorated by artist Jean Cocteau in 1950. They will be amazed by the 38 ft high bronze Madonna and the Chapel of Ste-Hospice to the east of the picturesque village center.
Then, what was the artificial lake of King Leopold is now a modern zoo worth to be discovered by children and adults alike.
