Villefranche-sur-Mer is one of the prettiest spots on the French Riviera and has one of the coast's nicest beaches, which is an easy ten-minute walk from our house (we also have umbrellas and beach chairs). There are waterfront dining options, charming and colourful alleyways to explore, some art galleries, boat trips to take or boats to hire, a historic citadel with lovely gardens and plenty of entertainment (live music, outdoor cinema) in summer. Not to mention fireworks! Nice port is a 5-minute bus ride away while Monaco is half an hour away by bus. There are also some great walking tracks off the Grande Corniche above Villefranche, Eze and Monaco, as well as a very prestigious French language school which can be reached by foot. The village has 2 small supermarkets, while larger supermarkets are an easy drive away (or offer home delivery which we can introduce you to)
