Anse des Fossés
✨ Hidden gem
Anse des Fossés is a quietly tucked-away anchorage in the stunning deep-water bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, one of the most naturally sheltered spots on the entire Côte d'Azur. You can drop the hook in around 5 meters of crystal-clear water, well protected from the north winds that plague the coast. The medieval citadel and pastel-colored waterfront of Villefranche are right on your doorstep, and you're just a short distance from the glitzy shores of Cap Ferrat.
