Read moreBeaulieu-sur-Mer lies on a sheltered stretch of the Riviera between Nice and Cap-Ferrat, a village that became a resort in the nineteenth century as the railway brought visitors and villas to the Alpes-Maritimes. A map of 1887 sets it among Monaco, Villefranche, Nice, Cannes, Èze and Grasse, vintage plans of 1925 and 1930 pair it with Villefranche-sur-Mer, and a tourist plan of 1949 joins it with Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Èze. William Scott's view of 1907 shows the resort itself.
