As you walk upwards FROM the beachfront area, it will become steeper (see pictures). Like Monaco, the town of Villefranche is on top of hills & so the lanes & streets moving inwards will all be angled at 45 degrees (you catch my drift). You are walking at an incline, and not flat surface - so be prepared for a nice exercise !
As you walk inwards, you are actually walking through The Old Town (or Vielle Ville as the locals call it). It really nice with little shops selling knick knacks and souvenirs.
There are also cafes and restaurants if you just want to rest your feet. For me, I thought the walk was actually no sweat. But this is coming from a seasoned fashionista with tonnes and tonnes of walking practice shopping.
So I reckon for the young and energetic, walking on constant incline
is not a problem. But for those lacking of exercise, still I don't see
any problems if you walk at a leisurely pace and stop for a cuppa along
one of the cafes.
Enjoy !
