Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I wake up in my tiny Airbnb in Villefranche-sur-Mer, right? The sun’s shining, the sea’s glistening, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be epic!” Spoiler alert: it was NOT.
First off, I decide to hit up the local boulangerie on Rue de l'Église. You know, the one that smells like heaven? I grab a croissant, and it’s like biting into a fluffy cloud. But then, BAM! I spill coffee all over my shirt. Great start, right? I’m standing there, looking like a hot mess, and the baker just chuckles. Thanks, dude. Real supportive.
So, I’m walking down the Promenade des Marinières, trying to shake off the coffee disaster. The view is insane! The turquoise water, the boats bobbing around, and those colorful houses stacked up like a postcard. I’m snapping pics like a tourist, and then I see this guy trying to impress his date. He’s all suave, but then he trips over his own feet. Classic! I can’t help but laugh. Sorry, dude, but that was gold.
Then, I decide to check out the Citadel. You know, the big fortress? It’s got this history vibe, and I’m all about that. But guess what? It’s closed for renovations. Ugh! I’m like, “Really? You couldn’t have planned this better?” So, I just wander around the old streets, and they’re so narrow! I feel like I’m in a maze. I almost get lost, but then I find this cute little art shop on Rue du Poilu. The owner is super chill and shows me some local artists. I’m vibing, but my wallet’s crying.
After that, I’m starving. I hit up this seafood place by the harbor. I order the bouillabaisse, thinking I’m fancy. But when it arrives, it looks like a fish exploded on my plate. I’m not even kidding! There’s fish everywhere, and I’m just staring at it like, “What do I do with this?” I mean, I love seafood, but this is next level. I take a deep breath and dive in. It’s actually bomb! I’m slurping away, and the waiter’s giving me side-eye. Whatever, man, I’m enjoying life!
Then, outta nowhere, it starts pouring. Like, seriously? I’m caught in the rain, and I’m sprinting down Rue de la République, trying to find shelter. I duck into a café, and it’s packed. I’m soaked, looking like a drowned rat, and everyone’s staring. I just laugh it off. “Hey, at least I’m not the only one having a rough day!”
Finally, the rain stops, and I’m feeling kinda good again. I stroll back to the beach, and the sunset is unreal. The sky’s all pink and orange, and I’m just standing there, soaking it all in. I think about how crazy today was. From coffee spills to fish explosions, it’s been a rollercoaster.
As I’m walking back, I bump into that guy from earlier. You know, the one who tripped? We start chatting, and turns out he’s a local artist. We hit it off, and he invites me to an art show tomorrow. I’m like, “Heck yeah!” Who knew a day full of chaos would end with a new friend?
So, yeah, Villefranche-sur-Mer, you’ve got my heart. Even with the craziness, I wouldn’t trade today for anything. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
