Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is a lovely town located in southeastern France. It's nestled between the tiny country of Monaco and the French town of Menton. This area is part of the Alpes-Maritimes department.
The town's name was changed from just "Roquebrune" to "Roquebrune-Cap-Martin." This was done to make sure people didn't confuse it with another town called Roquebrune-sur-Argens. That other town is in the nearby Var department.
