‘La Mère Germaine’ Restaurant in Villefranche-sur-Mer, a major gourmet landmark on the French Riviera since 1938. “When I look at Villefranche,I can see my youth. May Man never allow it to change,” said the poet and artist Jean Cocteau of this place of legend.

It was in this fishing port between Nice and Monaco that La Mère Germaine chose to locate her restaurant in 1938.
