Villefranche-sur-Mer

The Cobalt-blue waters of Villefranche-sur-Mer beckon you to discover another Cote d’Azur gem. This 14th-Century village is quite small when compared to Nice, but it punches well above its weight with its beautiful harbour, impressive citadel and pretty town centre – all best seen from the water, naturally.

Warm sea breezes, endless water views and a distinct lack of tourists make Villefranche-sur-Mer a must-see location. Enjoy high-end French cuisine on the water’s edge at Mayssa Beach and or bask in the warm rays on the pebbled shores of the secluded Plage de la Marinière. The Villefranche-to-Nice coastal walk is also highly recommended and the perfect way to work up an appetite from the comfort of your own boat.
