À quoi s'attendre
1
Newport Visitors Information Center
Our journey begins in downtown Newport, just by the Newport Visitor Center. As we set off into the heart of Newport, we'll dive into the past to learn about Newport's hey-day: the Gilded Age. This era of nouveau-riche American elites like the Vanderbilts and Astors has been marked by gorgeous mansions. We'll explore the architecture and architects behind these designs as drive.
2
International Tennis Hall of Fame
At the International Tennis Hall of Fame intersection, we'll turn onto the famed Bellevue Avenue -- the most expensive avenue in America. We're about to see the most magnificent homes ever built in this country... facetiously known as "summer cottages". You can choose to pause here to check ou the Hall of Fame, which features tennis greats.
3
The Elms
Finally, we'll see the Elms. This masterpiece was designed for the coal baron Edward Julius Berwind, and inspired by France's Château d'Asnières. Here we'll want to slow down as much as possible to hear about the Berwinds -- and maybe pull inside for a tour!
4
Bellevue Avenue
When we spot Mr. Belmont's statue, we'll turn off Bellevue. We're now heading towards some of the largest and finest mansions in Newport -- and they're technically not even on this famously expensive avenue! As we drive, we'll learn a bit about Belmont -- whose fascinating story we'll pick back up when we see another grand house later on the tour.
5
Ochre Court
Ochre Court will immediately arrest our eyes! This châteauesque mansion cost of $4.5 million... in 1892. And it certainly shows! Now the centerpiece of the Salve Regina University, this mansion isn't open for tours... but that won't stop us from learning all about it's rich and fascinating history!
6
Chateau-sur-Mer
As we head back towards Bellevue Avenue, we'll pause to check out the delicate beautfy of Chateau-sur-Mer. Not only is the first Gilded Age mansion in Newport, it also boasts one of the most beautiful, green, sprawling gardens. Both the house and the gardens are open for an optional tour.
7
National Museum of American Illustration
Right on the corner of Bellevue, we'll pause once again for a glimpse of Vernon Court. This mansion holds a different type of treasure inside: the National Museum of American Illustrations. Norman Rockwell fans simply can't skip this hidden gem.
8
Hammersmith Farm
Our journey brings us to Hammersmith Farm, the childhood home of Jackie Kennedy. Jackie and JFK would later return to summer here, enjoying the same scenery, views, and breeze that you feel today!
9
Fort Adams State Park
We'll continue both our history lesson and journey into Fort Adams, as we explore this historic site and it's significance to Newport's independence.

Centre d'information des visiteurs de Newport
Notre voyage commence au centre-ville de Newport, juste à côté du Newport Visitor Center. En partant au cœur de Newport, nous plongerons dans le passé pour en savoir plus sur l'âge d'or de Newport : l'âge d'or. Cette ère des élites américaines nouvellement riches comme les Vanderbilt et les Astors a été marquée par de magnifiques demeures. Nous explorerons l'architecture et les architectes derrière ces conceptions comme moteur.
56
Temple de la renommée internationale du tennis
À l'intersection de l'International Tennis Hall of Fame, nous tournerons sur la célèbre avenue Bellevue, l'avenue la plus chère d'Amérique. Nous sommes sur le point de voir les plus magnifiques maisons jamais construites dans ce pays... facétieusement appelées "chalets d'été". Vous pouvez choisir de faire une pause ici pour découvrir le Temple de la renommée, qui présente des grands noms du tennis.
57
Les ormes
Enfin, nous verrons les Elms. Ce chef-d'œuvre a été conçu pour le baron du charbon Edward Julius Berwind et inspiré du château d'Asnières en France. Ici, nous voudrons ralentir autant que possible pour entendre parler des Berwinds - et peut-être nous arrêter pour une visite !
58
Avenue Bellevue
Quand nous apercevrons la statue de M. Belmont, nous éteindrons Bellevue. Nous nous dirigeons maintenant vers certaines des plus grandes et des plus belles demeures de Newport - et techniquement, elles ne se trouvent même pas sur cette célèbre avenue chère ! Pendant que nous conduisons, nous en apprendrons un peu plus sur Belmont - dont nous reprendrons l'histoire fascinante lorsque nous verrons une autre grande maison plus tard au cours de la visite.
59
Cour Ocre
Ocre Court va immédiatement nous arrêter ! Ce manoir château a coûté 4,5 millions de dollars... en 1892. Et ça se voit ! Aujourd'hui la pièce maîtresse de l'Université Salve Regina, ce manoir n'est pas ouvert aux visites... mais cela ne nous empêchera pas de tout apprendre sur son histoire riche et fascinante !
60
Château-sur-Mer
En revenant vers l'avenue Bellevue, nous nous arrêterons pour admirer la beauté délicate de Château-sur-Mer. Non seulement est le premier manoir de l'âge d'or à Newport, mais il possède également l'un des plus beaux jardins verdoyants et tentaculaires. La maison et les jardins sont ouverts pour une visite facultative.
61
Musée national de l'illustration américaine
Juste au coin de Bellevue, nous nous arrêterons une fois de plus pour apercevoir Vernon Court. Ce manoir abrite un autre type de trésor : le National Museum of American Illustrations. Les fans de Norman Rockwell ne peuvent tout simplement pas ignorer ce joyau caché.
62
Ferme d'Hammersmith
Notre voyage nous amène à Hammersmith Farm, la maison d'enfance de Jackie Kennedy. Jackie et JFK reviendraient plus tard en été ici, profitant du même paysage, des vues et de la brise que vous ressentez aujourd'hui !
63
Parc d'État de Fort Adams
Nous continuerons à la fois notre leçon d'histoire et notre voyage à Fort Adams, tout en explorant ce site historique et son importance pour l'indépendance de Newport.

We're now heading towards some of the largest and finest mansions in Newport -- and they're technically not even on this famously expensive avenue! As we drive, we'll learn a bit about Belmont -- whose fascinating story we'll pick back up when we see another grand house later on the tour.

Ochre Court
Ochre Court will immediately arrest our eyes! This châteauesque mansion cost of $4.5 million... in 1892. And it certainly shows! Now the centerpiece of the Salve Regina University, this mansion isn't open for tours... but that won't stop us from learning all about it's rich and fascinating history!
96
Chateau-sur-Mer
As we head back towards Bellevue Avenue, we'll pause to check out the delicate beautfy of Chateau-sur-Mer. Not only is the first Gilded Age mansion in Newport, it also boasts one of the most beautiful, green, sprawling gardens. Both the house and the gardens are open for an optional tour.
97
National Museum of American Illustration
Right on the corner of Bellevue, we'll pause once again for a glimpse of Vernon Court. This mansion holds a different type of treasure inside: the National Museum of American Illustrations. Norman Rockwell fans simply can't skip this hidden gem.
98
Hammersmith Farm
Our journey brings us to Hammersmith Farm, the childhood home of Jackie Kennedy. Jackie and JFK would later return to summer here, enjoying the same scenery, views, and breeze that you feel today!

102
The Elms
Finally, we'll see the Elms. This masterpiece was designed for the coal baron Edward Julius Berwind, and inspired by France's Château d'Asnières. Here we'll want to slow down as much as possible to hear about the Berwinds -- and maybe pull inside for a tour!

Tiarain, I’m glad you enjoyed my Scenic Newport, RI Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour.! A rainy day is a great time for a drive, and I’m happy to hear the tour ran smoothly for you. I think you meant car stereo, not CarPlay, as my tour doesn’t support CarPlay at the moment—but it does work great when connected to a car’s audio system.
