Villefrance, South of France, Med Hot

Port Reviews

Name of port Villefrance
Month of visit June, September, May

We love this port - the gateway to Cannes, Monaco, Nice and more... but in its own right it is worth spending your time here.
Cafe Cosmo, just over the road from the tender arrival building was superb for lunch.  We go there every time now and have always had a super meal.  The desserts were wonderful!  The Tarte au Citron was out of this world.

A stroll along the promenade is lovely on a sunny day, taking you past small cafes, restaurants and shops.  If you have the stamina you can walk around the little harbour and we always had a lovely view of the ship.  (We've sailed here on Arcadia, Navigator of the Seas and Brilliance of the Seas).

There was a local 'mini' train, such as you would find at Alton Towers, which took us up the steep winding hill to the main town area.  A good sized market was open offering food and gift items.  A visit to the Patiserrie is well worth it, and a stroll through the shops is nice. 

There are some cracking views from the town.  The mini train also took us past some of the older parts of the town.

We love this port.  Just to potter, sit with a glass of wine, people watch, and treat ourselves to a lovely lunch - although sitting on the ship overlooking the port is just as lovely.

Can't wait to go back!
