Saint-Pierre Chapel
Saint-Pierre Chapel stands by Villefranche’s harbour, where Jean Cocteau covered a former fishermen’s chapel with maritime-themed paintings. Its small interior ties the waterfront to a distinctive artistic story.

The painted scenes connect Saint Peter and local fishing life with the harbour just outside. Cocteau’s work gives the chapel a clear reason to enter, while its position by the water keeps that subject close at hand. Combine it with the old-town lanes for two different views of Villefranche’s maritime past.
