How do you say "hustle and bustle" in French?
It's best to head to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin anytime in between April and October, as much of the region shuts down completely from November through March. If you want your visit to coincide with the rest of Europe, head down in July or August. This is the region's peak season, and you're likely to find tons of hustle and bustle. If you'd rather avoid the higher prices and crowds, opt for the shoulder season. The weather is lovely from April through June and September through October, and the crowds are more manageable.
Rolling hills, rolling waves, and a rocking good time
The villages that comprise Roquebrune-Cap-Martin rise and fall around the sea, and are connected by a series of steps.

Meanwhile, the peninsula of Cape Martin juts out into the sea, with a rocky coastline and pebble beaches that only add to the area's unspoiled vibe. After pouring over the Roquebrune-Cap-Martin vacation rentals, your hardest choice will be whether you want sea views from up above, or right up close.
