Villefranche-sur-Mer Day Trip from Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

One of the easiest day trips you鈥檒l ever take is to the beautiful bay town of Villefranche-sur-Mer from Nice. Like many of the towns along the Cote d鈥橝zur, Villefranche drapes over the cliffs all the way down to the calm 1-kilometer beach, which is in many ways, nicer than Nice.

The deep bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer is conveniently located just 10-20 minutes away from Nice by train or bus. You wouldn鈥檛 know it if you鈥檙e overlooking Nice Harbour from the Colline du Ch芒teau park 鈥� that鈥檚 because Villefranche-sur-Mer is hidden by the peak of Mont Boron which juts out from the coast. It鈥檚 only when you arrive that you can see the colorful spread of buildings along the harbor and the long stretch of beach.

The easiest way to get to Villefranche-sur-Mer from Nice is by train. The train takes 10 to 13 minutes, depending on whether you board at Nice-Ville or Nice Riquier. It drops you off just a few steps up from the beach and less than 10 minutes from the heart of town. It costs just a few euro, making it one of the cheapest things to do in the French Riviera. ......
