Discover Villefranche-sur-Mer: a hidden gem on the French Riviera

Our absolute favorite small town in the south of France! We called this place home for 4 nights and took day trips to nearby towns. If you are traveling to the south of France and like to stay in a more lowkey area with a local feel, I highly recommend this stay! 

Views and Things to do 

Spend the day exploring the narrow streets, and visit Jardin de la Paix (Peace Garden). 

Pop into local shops like Jour De Plage, and Funky Design- the best for clothing, jewelry, handmade goods and fragrances. 

Take a walk from Villefranche-sur-Mer to the town of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. Take in the views! 

Easy train ride to other small towns like Cannes, Antibes, and Eze. 

Restaurant Recs

Le Cosmo- views of the sea, excellent pizza and coffee (THE BEST)

Achills- American food, cheap drinks

La Grand Cave- Cute little wine spot

Boulangerie Patisserie- Pastries, and sandwiches to go
