The coastal path which connects Nice to Villefranche-sur-Mer is a true ode to the beauty of the French Riviera. From the first steps, you will be amazed by the splendor of the landscapes surrounding you. To your right, the Mediterranean extends its infinite blue as far as the eye can see, while to your left, the green hills and rocky cliffs offer you an unforgettable panoramic view.
