Friday morning the ship anchored in the bay at Villefranche. This would be the only day that we would have to leave the ship by tender. It was great to hop on board the small boat and see how our cruise ship looked from a distance; it seemed to tour over the city when we were onboard, but it didn't look so imposing once we were on dry land. Villefranche is a beautiful place! Just what comes to mind when you think French Riviera.
Our plans for this day included sun, beach, French bread and cheese and some relaxation! We took a quick tour of the village, shopped at the local market for our lunch, then made our way to the pebbly beach to lay in the sun. The temperature was just right, hot enough to sunbathe but not so hot that it was uncomfortable. The kids beachcombed and Kris and I lounged around reading our books. The beach was being used by both cruise passengers and locals.
I think that Kris and I both agreed that this was a place worth returning to!
