Villefranche-sur-Mer Travel Guide: 110 reviews and 201 photos

Côte d'Azur

Villefranche is located on the Riviera. There are long sandy beaches, terrace cafés and restaurants. The vieille ville (old town) is especially interesting.

There is a steep slope to the narrow cobblestone and brick streets. The Rue Obscura, a block from the seafront, is completely covered for half its distance.

The port was created in 1295 by Charles d'Anjou

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Old Town is wonderful to stroll through
  • Cons:Very steep inclines
  • In a nutshell:Take it easy. Stop at a café.
