Staying in Larvotto: beach entrances and walking routes
Avenue Princesse Grace is the main reference point for a stay here, but check how your accommodation connects with it. An address just above the seafront can involve lifts or stairs before you reach the promenade. For daily outings, separate the easy walk beside the beach from the climb toward Boulevard des Moulins and the streets above.
