8. ROQUEBRUNE-CAP-MARTIN
The Château de Roquebrune, perched on its hilltop above Cap-Martin, is said to be
the oldest feudal castle in France. Built more than 1,000 years ago, it has been re-
modelled more than once, by the Grimaldi clan and, in the early 20th century, by
a wealthy Englishman, Sir William Ingram. Down at sea level, a lovely coastal path
leads all the way to Monaco, passing 19th-century villas set in luxurious gardens (for
