General presentation

Villefranche-sur-Mer, prestigious city of the Côte d'Azur, offers you from your arrival, whether by the cornices, the sea or the train, a grandiose panorama. Villefranche, radiant city with its port and its Citadel of the sixteenth century, at the foot of a vast amphitheater of hills and the majestic curve of its shore, has kept many vestiges of its origin, which have made, with the constant variety of its colors, the City of Painters and Artists.  Maritime city in the privileged situation, it has become one of the major ports of the Côte d'Azur, place of stopover of many cruises but still small fishing port with the picturesque constantly renewed, also sheltering a flotilla of pleasure boats and sharp. 
The charm of Villefranche is also due to the mild climate, a condition that allows the exuberance of exceptional vegetation and a sumptuous flowering. 
Finally, Villefranche-sur-Mer has the chance to benefit from a varied gastronomy combining local cuisine and fresh fish from the Mediterranean.
