St Paul-de-Vence

It may be one of the oldest medieval towns on the French Riviera, but St Paul de Vence is celebrated for its contemporary art museums and galleries. This beautiful village is the perfect place to celebrate art, as it is a simply stunning location. Perched high up on a narrow spur, bordered by ancient ramparts and home to some of the prettiest, quaint streets in the region, it’s a popular place to visit. Filled with art galleries, craft workshops, adorable boutiques, ornate fountains and cafes with appealing sidewalk terraces, it’s a treat to stroll around. And the views from the ramparts across mountains and out to sea, are needless to say, breathtaking. A visit to the world-renowned Fondation Maeght is a must. Located just outside the village, it’s home to a vast collection of paintings, sculptures and drawings. There’s also a local museum and the Musee Municipal in the centre of the village. Inspiring artists, tourists and locals from all over the world, it’s no wonder St Paul de Vence is such a loved destination.
