Port de la Darse
Drop anchor in the sheltered western corner of Villefranche-sur-Mer's grand bay, where the historic Darse port has been a protected haven since long before it earned its monument status in 1990. Every stone here carries centuries of maritime history, and the surrounding waterfront comes with restaurants, a hotel, and a tucked-away pebbly beach within easy reach once you get ashore.
