Villefranche
Evan Gray
Villefranche is a
beautiful town on the French Riviera just a stone’s throw away from
Nice. Because of our excursion, we were unable to explore Villefranche
itself, but I would definitely recommend it to people with enough time
on their hands. We did the “Best of the French Riviera” excursion, and
it was great. Our bus drove along the coast, through Nice, and on to
Cannes which was our first stop. We enjoyed some time looking at the
outside of the film festival building, the famous handprints, and
admiring the ritzy shops. We stopped at a scenic restaurant outside of
Grasse for a delicious lunch, and then we went into the town to tour a
perfume factory. The prices for French perfume direct from the factory
are very good. Later, we went to St. Paul De Vence, which is a walled
medieval town on top of a hill. I would absolutely recommend it. It has
a lot of art shops, but the character of the buildings and the views are
amazing. This port has many options, as many of our fellow cruisers
chose to head in the direction of Monaco and raved about it. In many
ways I don’t think you can go wrong in Villefranche.
