Today, you get 4 hours of Parisian cafe ambience. You’re getting all the feels of Paris without the dust, dirt, grime and pigeon poo. This doesn’t happen every day, nor ever before here in Coffeehouse, but I wanted to write about travel.
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!
