The approaches to runway 22 are VORs ending in a "circling with prescribed tracks". You are basically guided to a point just outside of Cap Ferrat at 1500ft, 5.5 NM from the field and offset by 45° from the runway track, but with the runway dead ahead and in plain sight. The prescribed track involves a descent to 1000ft while flying along the coast line, keeping strictly over the sea. This leads onto a approximately 2.5NM short final with a PAPI angle of 3.5°. So not nearly "do it Yourself"; the adherence to these tracks is rather closely monitored. An ATC transcript of this flight will most likely contain an inquiry from Tower about the flights navigational accuracy.
In the airport briefing, one is warned against overflying Cap Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer and the city of Nice. Also, the VOR approaches to 04 L/R contain a warning against flying west of a defined radial; basically, it is required to stay over water at all times and not cross any coast line during those approaches.
