Villefranche-sur-Mer has a small local clinic on Avenue Sadi Carnot covering everyday consultations; for after-hours and serious emergencies the standard referral is the 24/7 Clinique Val d'Azur in Saint-Laurent-du-Var west of Nice, about 25 minutes by car via the Basse Corniche or A8. The Nice metropolitan area also has several other 24/7 referral hospitals. Always phone before driving, the on-call clinic rotates and confirmation prevents a wasted trip in peak-season traffic.
