Love it. We stumbled on Villefranche 4 years ago on a day trip from Antibes to Monaco and stopped for the beach on the way back and stayed . . . and stayed. My 11 year old son fell in love with some ladies in town who sold "the best frites in the world" at a tiny shop on Rue du Poilu, so when we planned to go to Italy 2 years later we had to stop there. This time we stayed in Villefranche itself and had another magical experience - we were hanging in our hotel room after dinner when a fireworks show started. Fantastic seafood, a great walk around the batterie, super fun day at the beach, a trip over to Nellcote to see where the Stones recorded Exile. We would go back in a nano. My son is taking French in school b/c of that experience (and insists on calling it Villefranche-sur-Mer, no exceptions!). All great memories triggered by your story. Love it!

It's to be remembered only. :)
loved reading this as it is nothing i have experienced for myself
Somedays it feels like a memory from someone else. Some times I don't feel like I experienced it myself either.
