Harbourside dining

It’s luxury meets local down at the harbour as glitzy yachts bob among rustic-looking fishing boats. Grab a seat at a seafront restaurant as you peruse the plat du jour, AKA, the dish of the day on the store-front blackboard.

Blissful beaches

Stretch out on the sands on the shores of Villefranche sur Mer and enjoy the go-slow pace of the South of France. Whether it’s softer sands on Plage de la Marinière or perfectly pebbled Plage de la Darse, this little fishing town has the best of the bunch.

Explore the streets

Spend the day getting lost among tangerine-coloured houses with their worn, rustic shutters and stumbling across side-street eateries. Later, enjoy a stroll through medieval Rue Obscure, hidden beneath the village.
