Stepping ashore, Villefranche’s 16th-century old town is a delight, with winding alleyways, flower-draped balconies, and charming cafés that spill out onto the cobblestones. She will take you to Plage de Passable on Cap Ferrat for a long lunch with your toes in the sand, or moor beneath the ramparts of the Citadel, which has watched over the bay for centuries. For those who love culture, the Cocteau Chapel, Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, and the art galleries of Niceare all within easy reach.
The yachting season in Villefranche runs from May to September, with the summer months of July and August offering the full glamour of the French Riviera at its finest. This is when the world’s most spectacular superyachts gather along the Côte d’Azur, and the atmosphere is electric with film festivals, yacht parties, and world-class dining. With its protected anchorage and direct access to Monaco, Nice, and Cap Ferrat, Villefranche is the perfect home port for exploring the Riviera.
For a more tranquil experience, May, June, and September offer warm weather, calm seas, and fewer visitors. These months are perfect for long lunches on the waterfront, leisurely days at anchor, and exploring the Côte d’Azur without the summer crowds. Autumn, in particular, is a hidden gem on the Riviera, when the Mediterranean remains warm, and the vineyards of Provence are in harvest season.
Villefranche offers one of the best natural anchorages in the Mediterranean, with deep, protected waters and stunning views of the surrounding cliffs and villages. While the bay does not have a dedicated superyacht marina, it is a preferred anchorage for some of the world’s largest yachts, with tender access to luxury waterfront dining and exclusive beach clubs. For those seeking berthing facilities, Port de Nice (up to 190m) and Monaco’s Port Hercule (up to 300m) are both within easy cruising distance.
