The bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer is an ideal spot for stand-up paddle boarding.
Its geographical orientation and relief, protected from the wind and waves, mean that the sea is always calm.
Stand-up paddle boarding is an environmentally-friendly, easy and fun sport that lets you move around the water at your own pace and in silence.
The hotel offers a range of packages to suit all tastes: one, two or even more hours of relaxation and fun for your staff or clients!
We can also suggest a kayak trip.
On the spot, we can organise a well-deserved drink for you after a great time together!
Finding a way to bring your team together and organise a memorable event is no easy task.
