Villefranche is located between Nice and Monaco / Monte-Carlo (both reachable in 10 /15 minutes by car / train) and is walking distance from St-Jean Cap-Ferrat and Beaulieu. The Port and the Old Town date back to 130 BC and some streets have been the same for centuries. It is the pearl of the French Riviera that has been kept secret due to the lack of major hotels in the surroundings allowing it to preserve its unique beauty and charm.
Day trips include numerous cruises, visits to Ventimiglia, Cannes, Monaco and Nice.
The town is a fantastic place to be used as a base for mountain biking and trekking (public transport can be used to reach a vast variety of mountain tracks) and also for road cycling.
Villefranche is considered to be the best part of the French Riviera, and is truly one of the world's great locations.
