The Beauty of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat

 

In all of the Cote d’Azur, there is nowhere quite as stunning and remarkable as Saint Jean Cap Ferrat.

This most beautiful peninsula invites you to experience its lush natural surroundings in a very pristine and calming environment.

Formerly a fishing village (and still is to an extent), Saint Jean Cap Ferrat still holds much of its charm and integrity with its lovely shops, restaurants and cafes where many of those in the community and visitors alike still gather.

One of the many things that draw people to this part of the French Riviera is its respect for past history which is showcased in many of the local, grand villas still extremely well maintained and dotted throughout the peninsula where the likes of David Niven, Elizabeth Taylor, Jean Cocteau, Somerset Maughan, Coco Chanel along with many of today’s celebrities have either stayed or currently own properties.

As you leisurely walk, hike, or jog along one of the numerous paths next to the sea, you can sense the respect for nature here and that also follows through to the main beaches and hidden spots available for swimming.

Saint Jean Cap Ferrat offers a true feeling of the French Riviera, there is an authenticity in this locale that makes it special within the region, the peninsula draws you in with its peacefulness and for many, the privacy it allows one to maintain.

Prestige in being a part of this community is also why many have holiday villas here or their main or second home as it is within close proximity of both Monaco and Nice, yet offers you a more serene setting that is much more different from other places.

Although there are many properties reminiscent of days gone by, there are also numerous modern homes strategically blended into the peninsula as to not disrupt the flow, views, and character that makes the peninsula such an outstanding and memorable haven.

It's been said, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat is one of those places you can come to a million times and see something different on each visit and it’s absolutely true.

Although there is no "gay scene" here on the peninsula. There are of course those in the LGBTQ community that do live and vacation here. This area is known more for it's hiking trails, swimming areas including a nude beach of which one is known locally in the gay community near the lighthouse.
