I was really excited to visit this place. However the websites instructions are very misleading. Basically, they have opening hours... which you'd assume you'd be able to rock up and buy tickets and view... but it seems you must buy tickets and arrive on time for a tour. Outside of these times they lock the gate, start the tour and completely ignore you. Considering this is a tourist destination, you'd assume this would be explained: 'buy ticket online, arrive on time for the tour and enjoy the tour' instead it doesn't. Sadly we travelled really far just to see the gate.

Teach the staff how to treat people with respect and accept that bad things happen and they can help solve them October 2024 We were looking forward to coming to Cabanon de Le Corbusier and purchased our tickets way in advance. We were staying Northwest of Nice and left at 8:00 am for a 10:00 am tour. We tried to load the address on our car - since there is no street address number, the car would not take the address. So we used our Google Maps. We came down the hill and saw the sign for the Cabanon and Google Maps said we were here. We were not there, but we did not know that. I got out of the car and walked around looking for the building. We asked two different groups of people. The first did not know and the second group did, but they did not know how to get there without looking it up on their google maps. Their conclusion was to go the railroad station. Not sure why our tickets did not just give the train station as the address. After all of this we called the staff to say we were coming late and they said too bad - so sad. You are out of luck. We drove there anyhow. They made a bad situation much worse. 1) Did they try to make any accommodations - absolutely not. 2) It was so bad that when we asked to go to the bathroom for some in our party - the receptionist said there were no restrooms around the area - they actually had one and let ticket holders use it - we had six tickets and she was saying no restrooms around. 3) They had an 11:00 am time slot to tour the building without anyone going into the building and we asked if they would just give us a ten minute tour and Amy, who apparently was in charge - said "NO"!. I ran a not for profit for 37 years and we worked to get to yes, never to say no so quickly. Did she do anything to acknowledge that we had driven nearly two hours - that we were probably 900 feet away, just up above and maybe - just maybe she needed to try to do something. NO!!!!!! I have never been treated like this by any museum, cultural facility in my life and in particular in France. One of the staff acted like she wanted to help. Although even her solutions were not helpful. As with most customer issues, these issues have been known to the organization before. I believe they have known that google maps does not get you to the building, have they done anything to solve that? Have they tried to get a number on their address so that car maps can get you there? Have they put any signage up to the area where google maps says you have arrived to solve this issue? Have they trained any of their staff not to dismiss people who have arrived late with some type of accommodation other than you can see it from the outside? In the organization that I ran, my staff would have been trained to resolve issues not make them worse. Did they even try to give us our money back - that was not the option we wanted - they do not offer to give your money back - in fact they say you do not get your money back - but you can write to an address. Save your time - save your money - I am certain this is a worthwhile thing to look at - but if something happens you will run into a buzz saw that shows no mercy and solves no problems. I do not normally turn into an ugly American - but folks and their procedures/attitude can bring it out in anybody.

The Cabanon de Le Corbusier is a small cabin located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, designed by the famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. Built in 1952, this iconic structure is a prime example of Le Corbusier's architectural philosophy, emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and the integration of living spaces with nature. The cabin measures just 3.66 meters by 3.66 meters, showcasing a minimalist design that reflects Le Corbusier's principles of modularity and spatial efficiency. It features a compact living area, a small kitchen, and a sleeping area, all designed to maximize comfort within a limited space. The cabin is situated on a hillside, providing stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The Cabanon is part of the cultural heritage of the region and is often visited by architecture enthusiasts and tourists interested in Le Corbusier's work. If you're curious about its design principles, history, or how to visit, feel free to ask!

Come on ... booking in advance to see a couple of ordinary beach houses and holiday unit as Eileen Gray E-1027 where nothing is worth the visit and it's no different that Le Corbusier have stayed there when you know his work in cities ... let alone for € 19 !

Not possible to buy a ticket without reservation online (which is unavailable) , rude staff at entrance. Save yourself the trip like me and other people who travelled there a long way in hope to learn more about Le Corbusier.

An aberration to have built a restaurant literally attached to Le Corbusier's cabin. It makes his work lose all significance.

Fabulous experience and excellent guide.

Very beautiful settings, foods are nice and clean, a cup of coffee or tea or have some delicious pasta & salad which are filling, with the background of a romantic medieval castle on the cliff hill at your background. There are some photogenic cats around!

Very nice castle Historical place Nice views, good vibes and natural place

Beautiful place to explore and eat lunch with a couple of small cafes. The little town is very charming and climb up to the castle (not too difficult) was worth seeing.

Fantastic old fort with plenty of history and fantastic views. €5 adult entrance fee

Lovely experience! Do not miss this if you are near Nice or Menton. Walking to there wasn't easy at all but it's completely worth it! The scenery will leave you speachless.

Oh, wow, what a lovely experience! The surroundings are just stunning, pics don't do it justice! We walked up there on a very hot day, the walk was challenging (for us, the parents, our teenager kids were fine),but was all worth it! Found a lovely Caffè and had lunch (reasonable and lovely service) then explored the castle. I'd do it again, despite the 700(maybe?) stairs. You need to be fit if you are planning to walk from the bottom of the cliff! Would recommend it.

Great place, quite windy on the day of our visit.

Such a gorgeous piece of architecture! The tour was also really interesting 😊

It is a must go place for people who love history of art and culture. Eileen Gray was not a very well-known figure but her contribution in the modern art is huge. Anybody interested in feminism and queer culture would find the story of her life truly fascinating. This villa is a masterpiece of the 20 century architecture. Don’t miss it if you are on the Côte d’Azur.

This is the first piece of Architecture I have visited in two years and it did not disappoint. The interior is rich with details and consideration and the story is full of twists and turns. It would have been amazing to have an hour or two to wander around the interior and to study Eileen Grey's thoughtful process and design flair. There was no time to sketch or reflect. We visited in a tour group of twelve which felt like too many for the space. It's not a large building and the rooms are similarly small. We didn't spend much time in the bathroom which was a shame because it looked beautiful. I think access would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues or in a wheelchair. Furthermore it was very hot and the walk across the beach and up stairs might be difficult for some people.

After years of restauration the villa is finally back to full glory. A terrific guided tour will inform you about the history of this amazing site (and of the other buildings nearby, like the Cabanon from Le Corbusier). It's like visiting the genesis of modern architecture with an important role for Le Corbusier, but starring none other than Eileen Gray. If you're visiting the area, do make a reservation well in advance.

It is 18yrs since I first went looking for this place. In 2005 it was derelict. Today it has been restored and yesterday I joined a tour to see it. It is well worth the tour. The guide was brilliant. She told the story with enthusiasm and pointed out the design detail that I could have missed. So great to see it in person after all these years. 5 stars to yesterday's guide.

Unfortunately was close that day, we had the opportunity to see it from outside and was beautiful, what a pity for no have the chance to visit it inside

I’ve visited twice now, and the continued progress on the resortation is very encouraging. My guides have been quite good, really bringing the property to life.

Been to this charming village several times to admire the centuries-old olive tree. Truly remarkable. Lovely views too over the Mediterranean.

Absolutely recommend coming to see this over 1000 year old olive tree if you’re in the area. Seeing it in person was outstanding and blew me away.

Beautiful huge oldest olive tree in Historical place.

The Olivier Millénaire, or Millennial Olive Tree, is a renowned ancient olive tree located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France. This remarkable tree is estimated to be over a thousand years old, making it a significant natural and cultural landmark in the region. The Olivier Millénaire is not only valued for its age but also for its impressive size and gnarled appearance, which showcases the resilience of olive trees in the Mediterranean climate. Olive trees have a deep-rooted history in this area, symbolizing peace and prosperity. Visitors often come to admire this ancient tree, which is set in a beautiful environment that reflects the heritage of olive cultivation in the region. If you would like to know more about its history or significance, just let me know!

Vito, that's how I call this impressive tree. Try to imagine what happened around him during his life span. Look at the strange faces naturally designed on the surface

Impressive tree, nice walk to get there

Beautiful

E 1027 Eileen Gray - reception point / BOOK ONLINE : attendance busy / no tickets on the door / also Le Corbusier art everywhere because he had his perfectly utilitarian shed next door / also part of the 19 Euro visit / shop and explanatory exhibition work dropping in to see if you don’t have as ticket / open air drinks

Amazing architectures, with stunning views, the tour guide was nice and informative ( and patient ). I didn’t want the tour to end, it lasted about 2 hours. There are two tours in the day, 10 am and 2 pm , you have to reserve online first. There are a tour in English and a tour in French. If you are staying in Monaco/Nice you can take the train ( very cheap and fast ) or the bus 100 from Monaco ( but you’ll have to walk for 20mins )

Great place if you are a nerd for architechture. Great guides and an exclusive experience as the groups are small.

Amazing view over Monaco. Don't forget to disable your data roaming. EU tariffs don't apply in Monaco.

Book early, E1027 is not open without the tours. I did it twice very good to hear more than one guide's thoughts

That place was very special and nice

Beautiful, must see tour if you love the work of Eileen Gray and Le Coubusier. Our guide was extremely informative and the visit lasted over 2 hours in total. Very inspiring, with stunning views over the coast. Unfortunately, we were greeted by a very unfriendly dark haired lady working on the reception who was rude and unhelpful, great shame. Apart from that excellent.

If you dare not to have a reservation, if you’re lucky, they’ll seat you at the back and you’ll have to try to get the waiters attention. A gentleman seated next to us gave up and left, they were so inattentive but not yet busy as it was early. The food was good but bread, drizzled pizza bread & mains all plonked down on the table at the same time. I would’ve ordered another drink if I could’ve, my husband’s second drink arrived as we left! We did order a takeaway pizza another night and although a light tasty crust, I’m still looking for the marinara as it was just tomato based sauce! Husband said his Titti pizza was good.

Great dinner! Reasonable prices, great food. For meat I recommend Tagliata.

THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER! The service was horrible. Our waiter was rude from the very beginning. Was kind to the larger tables but totally ignored us once we placed our order. We waited 30 minutes to get the check and then someone other than our waiter came over to finally take our money and took my credit card then threw it down on the table after he swiped it. It was our very first time on this side of France and we were looking forward to a nice dinner after traveling over 20 hours. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Find another place to eat. Super disgusted by the whole experience!

Food was great but the Flies were really annoying. We had literally to hush them at every bite of our lunch!! One even landed in my dish and I couldn't eat anything after that 🤢 Dessert was not really best I expected from such a famous restaurant. The owner was courteous & cheerful 👍🌹😍 would have give only 1 star but the food was good and scene of sea was nice as well.

Don't get the mussels : I have never been served so little before. 18€ gets you a plate so small your friends have to share theirs with you. We had a reservation for 4, they noted for 2 and gave us a table after half an hour. Frankly never been so disappointed around here

Delicious, wonderful food. Very special service😉😋

Really great food, with a family atmosphere and good service. Highly recommend to check it. You will be surprised 😉.

Wonderful restaurant, well worth the hike up to the village. Burrata was amazing, the focaccia was great and I can only imagine their pizza. I was skeptical about the dessert, but I loved it. Great wine and the waiter was a nice guy, helped us with the order.

This is our second time at this place and both did not disappoint. The menu changed from two years ago but was still delicious. The service and the atmosphere were top notch. And one cannot beat the location and the view. First time we took an Uber up and hiked down. The second time, we had a car and parked at the top. However, space was limited so consider your options. This place gets crowded and reservations are recommended. The second time we were here, we asked to be seated outside near the rock but were told that this was not possible because of the possibility of rain. However, 10 minutes later, there was another couple sitting at this table. The table we were given was still very nice so we attributed it the changing weather patterns on Cote d’Azure.

A truly special dining experience in one of the most charming corners of the Côte d’Azur. La Grotte & L'Olivo is nestled in the heart of Roquebrune’s medieval village, right near the old fortress — the setting alone is worth the visit. Add to that a beautiful terrace with panoramic views stretching to the sea, and you're in for an unforgettable evening. The food was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in working with quality ingredients and local influences. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and welcoming without ever being intrusive.

Risotto was really amazing with truffle and mushrooms! And also we orderes pistachio dessert, it was also nice! Atmosphere and the view outside of the restaurant should be seen! 2 main courses & 2 wines & dessert total amount 95 eur.

Beautiful restaurant blessed with beautiful location with an amazing view towards the sea . Food was really great and very filling . Just let the support staff manage your order . They choose the best , It was an amazing experience. We went for dinner and totally enjoyed. Please make sure you schedule booking upfront . We tried the pizza ( too good ) and Chinese noodles . ( average ) Looking forward to visit during summer to experience the outdoor

Fantastic service and the food was amazing. The pizza base in particular was incredible, I have never saved the crust for the last bite before. The kids menu is really good, my daughter is quite fussy but she loved her pizza especially as it came in a heart shape. Merci!

Wonderful restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. They were very accommodating and entertained my poor attempts at French (though they spoke English). The food is delicious, scallops on special were great. The kids menu delivered and the octopus was also a winner. I'd recommend and would definitely visit again.

Nice restaurant with great food. The night we came there was a live pianist which was amazing! Very friendly owner, great service. We will come back!

Wonderful place with a breathtaking view. Very friendly owner and staff and the food is just yummy. They have live piano music which creates a special atmosphere. Highly recommended..!

Incredible experience. We stayed nearby for a few days and kept coming back—the owner greeted us warmly each day. We had a lovely lunch and played backgammon one afternoon, which was such a nice touch. On our last night in France, just after getting engaged, we had dinner here overlooking the sea. It was perfect—romantic, amazing service, delicious food, and a view we’ll never forget. Huge thanks to Chez Fred for making it so special!

Very pleasant experience with excellent friendly service of Chez Fred and his team and delicious dishes

We went here as a group of 5, and I must say our experience here was wonderful! I had the carbonara, and it was incredible! Fair play to the one lady cooking downstairs! We had a lovely waiter serve us who could confidently speak English, which was a bonus. The only thing was a few lads smoking/vaping in front of us which made us a bit disappointed... Overall a pleasant meal out and would re-visit next time!

Very tasty and cool view.

Absolutely beautiful, charming quiet location overlooking the castle. The food was excellent, including the vegetarian dish they whipped up! Service was fun and they even gave us a dessert sampler- all incredible!

Pleasant atmosphere with local flavor giving the feeling of having a meal with your neighbors. As we came for the first time we felt treated nice but as strangers. Food was very good but based on the reviews we expected much more. Nevertheless, a reasonable place to eat. Also, you need to make a reservation as the place is rather small and the only place open in the area when we went there.

Amazing people and truly one of the best food I’ve ever had!

Literally the best lasagna I’ve had in my life, seafood pasta was unbelievable as well. This quaint place definitely deserves all the praise for their delectable food , great and fun service, family run, closed on Sundays. I can’t wait to have their lasagna again someday soon!

The best food I had in Italy! Everything was good! Loved the pasta, desserts, of course, the wine! Loved their menu on blackboard and moved from one customer to another

JUST GO! We were away on our honeymoon in the South of France and this was our best dining experience by a mile. Massimo himself is a great character and very funny and accomodating. His staff in particular George were amazing to us also. And not to forget the food, wow. Maybe the best seafood linguine I've ever eaten everything was so fresh, authentic and delicious. The little fried dough balls they bring before the meal were perfect. It was so good we went twice and every time we would walk past they would all say hello it felt like a family. Can't recommend highly enough worth the travel if it's not close to you !

One of the best Italian restaurants in Cap Martin. Although the restaurant has no view since its located in a small neighbourhood, however the food they serve is absolutely amazing. I tried a couple of their pasta dishes and a pizza everything tasted so good. The service was nothing but great. I will definitely come back.

Exception quality food and a fantastic atmosphere. Would seriously recommend this to anyone. Staff were so lovely and our waiter went through the pasta menu with us as our French was lacking in areas ! Super helpful and something he did not have to do. Tiramisu was also delicious and huge ! We will be coming back.

If you can find it, and that’s not easy, you will have found a most wonderful restaurant. A choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 dessert s. But what choices! You are in a cave. No phone signal- thank goodness. We would return in a heartbeat.

We ordered snail / foie gras, quail / venison and a lemon tart. The food was exceptional, both good tasting, complex and filling. And the three course menu was only 45€ which seems a bargain, compared to what michelin star restaurants charge for much less, in every regard. The place is underground so there is no data or cell service inside. The menu is only available in French, but the waiter / manager was very helpful in clearly explaining all the meals and the options, in perfect English. This all really added a lot to the cozy, perfect atmosphere of the place.

Absolutely exquisite meal. Beautiful atmosphere and venue with a wonderful host. Make sure you try the Aperol Spritz, the best I’ve ever had!

Very good tiny and cozy French restaurant with a mediaeval feel in furniture and design. The food is really really good, menu comes at 42 € so rather cheap for the location and the quality. There are 3 choices for starters, main courses and desserts and all of them tasted amazing. My personal highlight was probably the tartare de canard but seriously every single dish was astounding. Good wines and good service make it for an absolutely recommended spot.

An excellent experience in the middle of the old town of Roqeubrune. Its the best choice of dinner in the area. The staff is super friendly. You can order 3 types of menus: starter and the main (€36), main and the desert (€32) or all three (€42). Wine is very good, they have a wide range to choose from. They bring you an apetizer and water included. Better make a reservation as its always full. Simply perfect romantic evening

Even though I did not eat here and rarely leave reviews, I must leave one to address the l rudeness of the staff, as it is notable. I walked in, all be it with no reservation (as it is off season) and even though the employee spoke English, when I asked if they had any space tonight, he proceeded to open the door and point me out like telling a dog to out for a walk, with an angry manner and no further explanation such as “sorry we are fully booked tonight”. Beware of the treatment here.

Lovely food and staff. The best food so far on our vacation. And the price was good too! And on top the location of the restaurant! Old from 1300. Go there!!!
