sjde Posted October 31, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I know the two villages are close but if we only decide to do one ( this will be at the end of a port intensive cruise and we may be exhausted!), which is more picturesque in your opinion? Does one have more shops than the other or more restaurants? We'll be taking the train from Monaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted October 31, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Can't do a compare for you but Villefrache was very picturesque. Here are some pictures. https://markandkareneurope2012.shutterfly.com/pictures/564 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some pictures. https://markandkareneurope2012.shutterfly.com/pictures/564 Thanks for the link to your pictures. We have stop in Villefranche next October and I had read that there was nothing "special" about this port stop. The pictures tell me otherwise... love the charm of the area. Can't wait to see it!

Rare mskaufman Posted November 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We spent the morning in Villefranche, went back to the ship for an early lunch and in the afternoon went to Nice and Eze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohaaloha Posted January 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Both these little villages are really delightful. However, given the choice I would choose Villefranche. It has a gorgeous little beach area, with a crystal clear warm sea, and plenty of great restaurants lining the harbour side. There aren't many shops, but there is usually a little craft market harbour side and that is well worth a walk around. Which ever you choose, you won't be disappointed I'm sure.

sjde Posted January 12, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Unfortunately we skipped the port of Monaco altogether due to weather conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted January 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Also can't do a comparison for you, but we found Villefranche to be charming as well and very walkable. Be sure to buy lots of French soaps! They are lovely and make great gifts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM2J2R2S Posted February 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2014 We docked in Ville Franche instead of Monaco due to weather. Took the city to Monaco-ville but should have stayed in Ville Franche. Charming little spot, nice to roam around in, have a nice little lunch ... low key, non rushing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
