Villefranche Shore Excursion
This full day
Villefranche shore trip is a nice alternative for those who have already been to Monaco and Monte Carlo in the past. The excursion includes a private van and driver-guide and you explore other hot spots on the Riviera such as Nice, Cap d'Antibes and St Paul de Vence. There is also free time for lunch at one of the stops.
After meeting your driver-guide at the pier in Villefranche, you travel along the old port of Nice and around castle hill and then suddenly the longest beach in the Riviera comes into view.
Once you are in Nice you drive down La Promenade des Anglais, the famous palm tree lined street that parallels the most famous beach in the Riviera. You enjoy some free time in the old town of Nice to walk through the beautiful flower market (closed Mondays when flea market takes place).
Leaving Nice you continue following the coastline to Cap d'Antibes, which is considered the most exclusive area of the Cote d'Azur. You'll see the private port of billionaires and walk past their massive luxurious yachts. You'll have a chance to stroll on 16th Century ramparts along the sea side or meander through the local covered Provencal market. The Chateau Grimaldi, which sits above the town, was used as a studio by painter, Picasso.
Free time is available in one of your stops to have lunch.
Later today you visit the Provencal hilltop town of Saint Paul de Vence. This medieval jewel has long been known for its artists and it is where many painters and actors live today. You can walk the town's medieval walls and through its narrow and crowded main street to enjoy the many art galleries and boutiques.
At the end of this popular Villefranche shore excursion, you'll return to the port.
