Villefranche & to Monaco
Today's adventure winds along the eastern shores of the Cote d'Azur where you will discover several small seaside towns and a tiny country with the world's richest inhabitants. The train can take you along most of today's route, but you will find it easier and more interesting to take the bus out and return back by train. Distances are short -- you could travel all the way from one end to the other, Nice to Menton, in 35 minutes by train, so the brief bus rides linking each place are easy to handle and will give you better access to some of the sights.
Begin at the main bus station of Nice, the Gare Routier, located a few blocks east of Place Massena along Boulevard Jean Jaures. Buses leave every 15 minutes, but you might take note of the bus schedules while here, or check on-line at rca.tm.fr. Plan on the 9:10am departure to get a good start on this action-packed day, which will deliver you in just 15 minutes to your first stop, Villefranche, providing a scenic ride along the way with views of the old port of Nice and passing coastal villas.
VILLEFRANCHE
The bus lets you off in the new part of Villefranche, which you don't need to see, so walk downhill towards the Café de la Paix (ask a local if in doubt), then take the steps leading down into the Old Town along Rue l'Eglise. The steps will lead you into a small pedestrian maze of alleys, with shops, galleries and cafes scattered everywhere. For general bearings just keep heading downhill, which leads you towards the waterfront in a few minutes. Along the way notice the arcaded street, Rue Obscure, a historic landmark one block inland from the marina, which is a picturesque boat harbor along the water's edge, lined with a row of outdoor restaurants.
This entire stroll can be done in 45 minutes if you just keep walking, or you could take 2 hours for a more thorough exploration of the side lanes and plazas. Villefranche is a popular cruise port as well, and it's only about 15 minutes away from Monaco, either by bus or by train, but there are a few other villages along the way worth visiting.
You now face the choice of either exploring the adjacent Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, with its nature walk and impressive mansions, or moving further along the coast.

Neuilly-sur-Seine, ville de naissance pour Marine le Pen, belle banlieue de Paris
Neuilly-sur-Seine (French pronunciation: [nøji syʁ sɛn]) is a French commune just west of Paris, in the department of Hauts-de-Seine. A suburb of Paris, Neuilly is immediately adjacent to the city and directly extends it. The area is composed of mostly wealthy, select residential neighbourhoods, and many corporate headquarters are located there.

Until the French Revolution, the settlement was often referred to as Port-Neuilly, but at the creation of French communes in 1790 the Port was dropped and the newly born commune was named simply Neuilly.
On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighbouring communes. On that occasion, a part of the territory of Neuilly-sur-Seine was annexed by the city of Paris, and forms now the neighbourhood of Ternes, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
On 11 January 1867, part of the territory of Neuilly-sur-Seine was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Clichy to create the commune of Levallois-Perret.
On 2 May 1897, the commune name officially became Neuilly-sur-Seine (meaning Neuilly upon Seine), in order to distinguish it from the many communes of France also called Neuilly. However, most people continue to refer to Neuilly-sur-Seine as simply Neuilly. During the 1900 Summer Olympics, it hosted the basque pelota events.[1]
The American Hospital of Paris was founded in 1906.
In 1919, the Treaty of Neuilly was signed with Bulgaria in Neuilly-sur-Seine to conclude its role in World War I.
In 1929, the Bois de Boulogne, which was hitherto divided between the communes of Neuilly-sur-Seine and Boulogne-Billancourt, was annexed in its entirety by the city of Paris.
Main sights[edit]
It was the site of the Château de Neuilly, an important royal residence during the July Monarchy.
Transport[edit]
Neuilly-sur-Seine is served by three stations on Paris Métro Line 1: Porte Maillot (with a direct access to RER line C), Les Sablons and Pont de Neuilly.
RATP Bus service includes the lines 43, 73, 82, 93, 157, 158, 163, 164, 174 [1]
Night Bus lines include N11 and N24.

In recognition of the work accomplished by Adrien Dubouché, the State accepted, in 1881, to take charge of the museum and all its collections at the request of the city of Limoges. The state then undertook to build two suitable buildings on the grounds of the former insane asylum, made available by the city of Limoges.
