Visit VILLEFRANCHE-SUR-MER France

Villefranche-sur-Mer is one of the most enchanting towns on the French Riviera. Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbors, this coastal gem offers a truly authentic and serene experience, rich in culture and beauty.

Nestled between Nice and Monaco, Villefranche-sur-Mer is known for its colorful harbor, pastel facades, and the deep, natural bay that has made it a favorite stop for luxury yachts and cruise ships. Yet unlike the glitz of Cannes or the flash of Monte Carlo, Villefranche embraces a more timeless charm — where narrow cobbled streets, local markets, and sea-view cafés reflect the true soul of Provence.

Steeped in history, the town is home to architectural treasures like the 16th-century Citadelle Saint-Elme, and the remarkably preserved Old Town, where every corner whispers stories of the past. The Rue Obscure, a vaulted medieval street dating back to the 13th century, offers a rare glimpse into the town’s heritage.

Villefranche is also a place of living traditions. From its family-run restaurants serving Provençal cuisine, to the vibrant local festivals and coastal art galleries, the town is a celebration of Riviera lifestyle—elegant, relaxed, and full of character.

Whether you’re joining one of our walking tours, discovering local history, or simply enjoying the panoramic views of Cap Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer offers an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of the Côte d’Azur — without the crowds.
