We anchored at the delightful harbour of Villefranche-Sur-Mer this morning, and soon found ourselves on a tender headed into the port.
We skirted the citadel and headed through the edge of town, before starting to climb. Stairs. Many, many, many stairs. Then stairs in the forest. Then delightful forested switchback trail.
We eventually ended up high above town at the Fort du Mont Alban, and the view was gorgeous!
The fort itself was also lovely, and the view from the other direction was nice – the noisy (seriously, we could hear it from kilometres away) beaches of Nice.
We eventually tore ourselves away and wound our way down the mountain through steep neighbourhood streets. Vieux ville was particularly gorgeous with narrow streets and gorgeous colours.
Back on board was “dressy” dinner and a chill evening preparing for tomorrow!
