There is no bus station in VF. From what i have read in various places on CC and trip advisor etc... youjust need to head up the hill from the port and cross the street at the top of the hill and catch the bus there at the bus stop. you pay the driver. it 1.30 e to nice

hope that helps. I will look through my stuff and give you anything more precise later.

found this info on tripadvisor for you or anyone else../

Villefranche is very small and there is no bus station. From where you will be landed by the tender you need to walk up hill, following the obvious road which climbs steeply to the left. Keep going up hill when the road forks and after about 500 yards you will arrive at the main road. Cross this road at the traffic lights, turn left and you will find the bus stop within about 10 yards. All buses from here go to Nice bus station, No. 100 runs every fifteen minutes (if you are lucky, this is France) and No.81 less often. Give the driver 1.30 euros or more and make sure you punch your ticket in the machine behind him. If you forget, as I often do, he will make a very exasperated noise and you will be embarrassed.

When you arrive in Nice bus station you will find the stop for Eze Village within about 20 feet of where you get off the bus. Check the times of the buses and decide which one you want to get before heading into the old town, across the road from the bus station.

When you arrive back at the bus station position yourself casually close to the place where the bus will arrive. Most people going to Eze will be tourists, including many Japanese who are the most polite people on earth, so when the bus arrives and the French, Germans etc hurl themselves at it (The French don't stand in line) you will have a good chance of actually getting on. Actually, the bus is rarely full. Pay another 1.30 and you will be in Eze in about 20 minutes. When you arrive you can again check bus times to Monte Carlo. When I was last there someone had removed the times from the stop but they are always displayed outside the tourist office.

From Monaco to Villefranche it is easiest to take the train.

Timetables can be found on www.lignedazur.com

FYI bus for Eze-Village is bus no 82. If you plan to get on buses more than 3 times in your day, get a one-day pass for 4 euro. The driver will sell it to you like any other tickets.

Hope this hels ;-)

WASHINGTON, Jun 27, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Record rains from a stalled tropical system are playing havoc in and around Washington, where mudslides, floods and power outages are snarling transportation. One record set was at Ronald Reagan National Airport, where by midnight Monday, a total of 9.94 inches of rain had fallen since midnight Saturday, The Washington Post reported

Diane and Lou.. be safe.... :wink:

Thanks. We are OK, but I think you could float a cruise ship around here. At my house, we've had 8.3" since Sat night. Never seen so much rain since Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Made up our yearly deficit in 2 days. Metro tunnels flooded, museums and some Federal buildings flooded and closed. What a mess.
