Villefranche is nestled between Nice and Monaco - 10 min to old (Vieux) Nice, 15 min to Monaco. Although surrounded by a diverse, exciting cosmopolitan environment, it is still an authentic French fishing village. I know as I live here. Within close and easy access are Antibes, Cannes, St. Paul de Vence, Grasse, Mougins and just a bit further St. Tropez, Ramatuelle, Bormes les Mimosas, or Aix, Arles, Avignon and all the villages of Provence, or take a ferry from Nice Port to Corsica (3 hours on the fast ferry), or into Italy and visit Ventimiglia, San Remo, the Vallee de Roya, Portofino, Cinque Terre. But if you stay in Villefranche and visit the neighboring towns of Beaulieu, St. Jean Cap Ferrat, Eze, La Turbie you'll exhaust a week and more just exploring and enjoying these lovely villages. Most of these sites--easy with no car. And if you are here to attend the French language Institute, Institut Francais, it is a 10 minute walk away
