Your stay in Beausoleil, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Beausoleil sits on a hillside directly above Monaco, separated from the Principality by little more than a street. Administratively it belongs to the Alpes-Maritimes department of France, which means hotel rates, grocery costs and café prices follow French rather than Monegasque levels. Menton, the wider municipality under whose tourism umbrella Beausoleil often appears, lies roughly 10 kilometres to the east along the coast. Staying here places you within walking distance of Monaco's casino district and a short train or bus ride from Menton's old town, its lemon festival and its beaches.
The neighbourhood has a compact, low-key character: narrow streets, local boulangeries and a mix of apartment blocks and small hotels that cater largely to visitors looking for value on the Côte d'Azur. It is not a beach neighbourhood itself, so guests who prioritise waking up steps from the sea should look closer to the Menton seafront instead. That said, Beausoleil rewards those who prefer a residential, authentic atmosphere and are happy to take a ten-minute walk or a quick bus ride down to the coast. The town of Beausoleil has its own shops and restaurants, and the border crossing into Monaco is seamless, making it genuinely convenient for day trips in either direction.

How do I get from Beausoleil to Menton town centre?+
The easiest options are the regional train from Monaco-Monte Carlo station, which is walkable from most Beausoleil hotels, or the local bus network that connects the area to Menton along the coast road. The train journey takes around 10 minutes. Driving is also straightforward along the Basse Corniche, though parking in central Menton can be limited in summer.
