Few steps away from the sea, the “jardin de l’olivaie” gives you an oasis of calm and serenity. The presence of the olive tree is deeply attached with the life and development of Beaulieu-sur-Mer. Its antic designation “Olivo” comes from it. By the way, the tree is symbolized on the city coat of arms.
