Sunny Hike from Nice to Villefranche with a Chill at the Beach
Overview
The meeting point will be in front of the Notre Dame du Port church. We no longer use a car for this tour, please note. We will be walking the entire way.
This experience is a perfect blend of gentle hiking, local charm, and seaside relaxation. We’ll follow a sunny, scenic trail from Nice to Villefranche-sur-Mer, away from the usual tourist spots.
Along the way, enjoy beautiful views, hidden corners, and the Mediterranean breeze at your own pace. It’s not a rushed tour or a strenuous hike — just a laid-back walk with a personal touch and a small group feel.
The experience ends with a reward: a chill moment on the beach at Villefranche. Swim, relax, or just soak in the atmosphere. This is the French Riviera like locals enjoy it simple, natural, and unforgettable.
