Roquebrune village is a medieval village perched on a rocky outcrop high over the Mediterranean. It's located between Monaco and Menton, east of Nice. The old village is dominated by the 10th-century chateau-fort that seems to grow massively from the rocks. It's a picturesque village with narrow streets, stepped-streets, stone steps, one-person-wide walkways and deep vaulted passages. There are lovely little squares and fountains, wrought-iron balconies and other charming discoveries. Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is both a tourist town and a residential town.
The main square of the village, tucked in between the chateau and a high protective rock, has a great view; in the evening you can watch the sun setting over Monaco, far below. This is where the statue of La France Triomphante stands. The 18th-century Ste-Marguerite church is restored with lovely Provencal ocres and ambers, with the patterned tile steps and wrought-iron railings in front. Check the statue over the marble doorway carefully: its shadow is a painted trompe-l'oeil, giving a feeling of light to this perpetually shady little corner. Follow one of the paved paths down the hill east of the village centre and you pass one of the oldest known olive trees in the region, the over 1000-year-old millenaire tree.
