The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
The Cote D'Azur and particularly Villefranche Bay is beautiful all year round and this area has its own micro climate. People even swim in the Med at Christmas. The Blue coast [Cote D'Azur] is one of the most beautiful locations in the world - the winters are pleasant and mild, while the summers warm without humidity. The French Rivera has long been associated with the rich and famous.
Monaco, Cannes, St Jean Cap Ferrat, St. Tropez and Italy is only a short ride by train bus or car. The sea is warm for bathing most of the year and is ideal for water sports, fishing, or just sunbathing. There is a never ending selection of other places of interest, from Nice Old Town to cultural curiosities. There are many historic villages within the area from, cliff top Eze, Saint Paul. Skiing is possible in Auron in winter, and you can tour the lavender fields and pretty Provencal villages further inland. There are hosts of top quality restaurants serving French, Italian, Moroccan and many other cuisines.
The Villefranche Sur Mer / Villefranche Old Town area
Villefranche is one of the most wonderful places of the Cote d'Azur. It dates back to pre Roman times and you can see its history at every turn. The old streets are a wonder with its medieval citadel and its historic, atmospheric streets lined with shops, restaurants and cafes.
The property is on the edge of the old town, so all of this is one minute walk away. There's something for everyone around Villefranche. A beautiful unspoilt beach for swimming and lots of boating activity in the bay, you can hire boats for fishing or sight seeing 300 mtrs from the flat. In the historic Old Town there are restaurants, cafes and gift shops, as well as food shops, bakers, butchers etc. - all a stones throw away. There are lots of fantastic walks from around the citadel and the fort at Mont Alban that overlooks it, cliff walks around the coast, exploring the nearby towns of St Jean Cap Ferrat and Beaulieu etc.
If you are interested in painting many famous artists have visited Villefranche and painted here; you will see Jean Cocteau's church on the seafront; he painted the inside for the local fishermen. Elsewhere the local council has cleverly put reproductions of some of the famous works of art at the point at which they where painted. The Romans were one of the first to realise its potential and the town was once part of Italy. The Russians used to fuel their Mediterranean fleet in the harbour and the American forces were here for many years.

Villefranche is one the most beautiful places to stay in the south of France, perfectly situated to travel around and stunningly beautiful to stay and relax. We have stayed at Flot Bleus twice now and is it perfect. At sunrise you can sit and watch the fisherman waiting for the sun to peek over the mountains, during the day you can pop to the beech in seconds and into the old town for lunch equally quick. You are minutes from the train station so you can travel around with great ease. At night everything is peaceful even though you are just minutes from some gastronomic delights, we tend to eat in the local French restaurants as the food is great and inexpensive. As for the accommodation at Flot Bleus it is perfect, it has everything you could need and is like home from home it is so comfortable. In fact it is so good we have booked for this year already. Flot Bleus and Villefranche are fantastic, what adds to this are Pat and George who look after the apartment, they do everything possible to make our stay as good as it can be from our taxi bookings to our shopping for arrival, the rose wine is chilling in the fridge on arrival, thanks guys. |
