French Riviera authorities have backtracked on their plans to ban large cruise ships with a compromise on the number of passengers allowed in the resort town of Villefranche-sur-Mer.
The Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur, the local authority that covers Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer, has offered a new proposal that seeks to find a compromise between "public health interests and supporting the local economy".
