January, normally a sunny and cool month, is the walking season in the French Riviera. There are many pleasant footpaths (promenades) along the shores of St Jean Cap Ferrat, a village next to Beaulieu. Promenade Maurice Rouvier, which starts a little West of the Casino in Beaulieu and follows the north east coast Cap Ferrat, is highly recommended (walking to the center of Cap Ferrat takes about 20-25mn). From there you can walk around the Pointe Sainte Hospice (25mn), the very beautiful secondary peninsula on the south east of Cap Ferrat.
Another recommended walk is to the harbour and the old part of Villefranche sur mer. From "Pont Saint-Jean," the western entrance to Beaulieu, follow the railway track on the south side (the opposite side from the main road going to Nice). After a few hundred meters walk down the steps and follow along the sea shore for about 1km to the harbor of Villefranche. Total walking time to Villefranche harbor: 30mn.
