Villefranche is a drowned valley rather than a beach, which is why the water is so deep so close in and why it stays flat when everywhere else is working. The old town stacks up the hillside in ochre and terracotta, and from the water you see the whole amphitheatre at once.
It is the first stop on most Beaulieu mornings for the simple reason that you can be swimming twenty minutes after stepping aboard. Cruise ships anchor in the middle of the bay in season; the captain tucks in towards the Darse or under the citadel, where they are not.
The captain reads the morning and picks the side of the bay the wind is not on. If it is not right on the day, we go somewhere that is.
What the captain would tell you
Reading Villefranche-sur-Mer.
- The hour to be there
- First thing. The bay is glass before the wind finds it.
- The water
- Deep and clean, sand and weed below, cool because it never really shallows.
- The wind
- Sheltered in almost everything. The one bay that works on a bad day.
