Villeneuve-Loubet (French pronunciation: [vilnœv lubɛ]; Occitan: Vilanuòva e Lo Lobet; Italian: Villanova Lobetto) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France.

Villeneuve-Loubet is the birthplace of the famous 19th century provençal chef, restaurateur, and culinary writer Auguste Escoffier, the author of the Guide Culinaire and the founder of French haute cuisine.

[3] Villeneuve-Loubet was also the site of a battle in World War II when it was liberated by the First Special Service Force on 24 August 1944.

The tower of the castle was damaged by a shell fired by the US Navy, and dozens of soldiers from both sides were killed or wounded.

In 2006, the bodies of fourteen Germans who were killed during the fighting were discovered in a mass grave near the town by a local medical student.
