Located between glamorous Nice and Cannes, Villeneuve-Loubet is one of the most famous cities along the French Riviera. This offers a haven of peace and allurements for visitors.

Scenic coastline combined with rich history and culinary traditions-this is a harmonious blend of old and new. Be it relaxation or participation in more energetic activities, Villeneuve-Loubet fits all kinds of travelers.

Historical Charm and Cultural Heritage

Medieval Villeneuve-Loubet can still be well appreciated from the rather well-preserved Old Village. Take a step back in time while walking up the cobblestone streets lined by ancient stone homes and the 13th-century Château de Villeneuve-Loubet. It crowns a hill, commanding an outstanding panorama over both town and countryside alike.

Not to be missed is the Escoffier Culinary Art Museum, a place dedicated to the memory of Auguste Escoffier-the "father of modern French cuisine"-born here. It contains very interesting artifacts related to cooking and also a history of gastronomy.

Escoffier Museum Admission: €6

Beach And Outdoor

The Mediterranean coastline of Villeneuve-Loubet is the hub for sun seekers and sports people. The peaceful Marina Baie des Anges offers the perfect spot for sailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding because of its characteristic wave-shaped apartments.

Nature lovers will appreciate the Parc de Vaugrenier with its trails, picnic spots, and birdwatching. Alternatively, head to Canyon Forest-an adventure park featuring zip lines, climbing routes, and obstacle courses.

Activity Marina: Free to €30

Canyon Forest Admission: 25 euros for adults

Gastronomy and Accommodation

Villeneuve-Loubet is a city in the heart of French gastronomy, offering numerous restaurants serving fresh seafood and Provençal dishes. Have a meal in Le Bleu Lavande and taste typical regional dishes, or go to Le Jardin de la Bastide to enjoy a refined cuisine.

Accommodations range from quaint B&Bs to five-star hotels; Hotel Bahia has rooms fronting the beach starting from about €100 per night, while at Marina Baie des Anges Apartments, scenic stays cost about €150 per night.
