About This Tour
A small fishermen's village full of colour and charm, Villefranche-sur-Mer is one of the most beautiful jewels on the Côte d'Azur. Unknown to many, come and explore its narrow streets nestled at the foot of the Alps and the famous Capes (Nice & Cap-Ferrat). Discover its secret corners, its huge laundry, its obscure street, its Cocteau chapel, its majestic citadel and its Port Royal. On this tour, walk around the Citadel to appreciate its grandness from many different perspectives. Discover how this small fishing port, a haunt of pirates and corsairs, became the main shipyard of the House of Savoy, then a landmark for the Russian and American navies and, as a child, a haven of peace for artists and directors of the great classics of French and world cinema!
