It would be a crying shame not to visit some of the nearby towns on you long weekend in Nice. The enchanting town of Villefranche-sur-Mer is a stone's throw away from Nice, located just to the east of the city, on the other side of Mont Boron. It is very easy to get there from Nice. You have two options using public transport; - You can take the train from Nice-Ville station, 2 stops to Villefranche-sur-Mer. This takes 7 minutes and costs €3.50 for a return ticket. You will notice a great view of the bay and the colourful buildings of the old town from the station. - You can alternatively take the bus number 100 from Nice Port right to the heart of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Get off after 12 stops at La Barmassa. This journey takes 15 minutes and costs €1.50. Once you are in Villefranche-sur-Mer, take some time to stroll along the waterfront of this medieval French fishing village. It is truly charming and provides a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of Nice. You may want to bring your swimming clothes, as the pebbles here are much finer and the water is very enjoyable. Picture by Gerhard Bögner on pixabay.com
