Villefranche I

This week I've participated in a big "Contemporary Art" exhibition - in the Citadelle of Villefranche. I have been there every day from 10AM to 8PM and I'm very impressed by the village... It is truly one of the most extraordinarily beautiful -and happy- spots that I've ever been to.
Quite busy and lively, lots of true old french style, beautiful houses and squares with restaurants and terraces. There are several fabulous beaches, with view on small, bigger and really big boats and of course...the sun!
Our Expo was in the Citadelle, built in 1557. It is an old fortress, with a couple of museums, the town hall and an open-ait theatre. And a beautiful park and garden, where people have romantic picnics in the shade when it is too hot on the beach. Always open for everybody. It looks so real, you feel as if you enter the 16th century when you walk over the bridge. More about the Citadelle in a later post, have to go there again to remove the paintings (the expo has finished) but as you may have noticed, I like it there, very much! If Riviera Home Finders ever opens a Villefranche office - I'll be the first to volunteer to work there!
