Guide of Saint-Paul de Vence, France

Saint-Paul De Vence, France

Artists, painters and writers fell in love with this fortified village and made it immortal...

An idyllic destination for artists like Marc Chagall and a much visited city with a wealth of craft workshops, art galleries, restaurants, historic itineraries and cultural events, St.-Paul is one of the most enchanting places on the Côte d'azur. Its huge offering of accommodation includes luxury hotels, historic residences and B&Bs.

This splendid medieval village in the countryside, perched on the hills just a few kilometers from Cannes, is home to the Maeght Foundation, a prestigious museum of modern art that displays masterpieces by artists such as Bonnard, Braque, Calder, Chagall, Giacometti, Léger and Miró in a very original architectural setting of gardens, sculptures and ceramics.

In addition, you can get into the spirit of the place by signing-up for a tournament of petanque, a typical bocce ball game, or participate in the harvest, a not-to-be-missed summer event.
