Villefranche-sur-Mer Old Town

Harbor views and classic seafood make this better for fish loving families than picky little eaters.

Ramparts, little museums and harbor views give kids space to explore without a long indoor visit.

A long curve of relatively calm water near the train station makes this one of the easiest no car beach days.

A pool, beach and walkable village location make this one of the easiest luxury family bases on the coast.

Nine themed gardens and fountains give kids far more room to explore than the ornate villa itself.

A small museum built around an ancient human site, best for kids who like early humans and archaeology.
