A unique view that takes you back in time
Just a stone’s throw from the frontier, bordering the French Riviera, reddish cliffs overlooking the sea with large fissures inhabited tens of thousands of years ago by our Paleolithic Cro-Magnon ancestor give their name to one of the most fascinating places on the Riviera di Ponente: the Balzi Rossi. In addition to the rocks at the Western Mediterranean’s most important archaeological site, there are more rocks to talk about at Balzi Rossi. Perfectly spherical or ovoid in shape, meticulously smoothed by the sea, they form the delightful Little Beach of Balzi Rossi. In an enchanting natural setting, a small cove of rare beauty, also known as the “Egg Beach,” is a current haunt of artists, writers and a landmark of famous people. A unique panorama: red rocks, turquoise sea, plants and the scent of saltiness separating from civilization and taking you back to prehistoric times.
