Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, from the perched village to Cap Martin
Bordering the Principality of Monaco and neighbouring Beausoleil, home to our agency, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin stretches from its perched medieval village, overlooked by a 10th-century castle, down to the Cap Martin coastline. The town has several distinct areas: the old village with its thousand-year-old olive tree, Cap Martin, Carnolès to the east and Saint-Roman to the west, on the Monaco border.
The Le Corbusier coastal path follows the Mediterranean past rocks, pine woods and coves, and leads to the Cap Moderne site, with Eileen Gray's Villa E-1027 and Le Corbusier's Cabanon, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The town is served by the three corniche roads and the A8 motorway, as well as by two TER regional railway stations.

Good to know before selling in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is classified in seismic zone 4, rated medium under the French system. Géorisques also lists flood risks (coastal flooding, flash floods), ground movement (coastline and cliff retreat, landslides, rockfalls, former quarries, differential settlement), as well as wildfire and the transport of hazardous goods. This seismic classification places two duties on the seller: give the buyer a risk disclosure statement at the first viewing, then annex it to the preliminary contract or deed of sale; and include in every advertisement the statement referring to the Géorisques website.
Four points to look into before listing (official sites in French):
- the risks at your address, on Géorisques;
- the technical diagnostic file, also to be attached to the preliminary contract or deed;
- recent sales in the town, available in the official DVF database;
- the planning documents and public-interest easements affecting your land, on the Géoportail de l'urbanisme.
