As I mentioned in a previous post, a few years ago, I was lucky enough to spend 2 months in Villefranche-sur-Mer, walking, exploring, and photographing the French Riviera. Almost 30 years earlier, I had been on a bus that drove through the town; it was so pretty and I remember thinking, I’d love to come
