Saint-Paul-de-Vence

Holidays in Saint-Paul-de-Vence

The medieval town of Saint-Paul-de-Vence sits on a hill surrounded by thick walls in the hinterland between Nice and Cannes. It is one of the most beautiful and well-kept towns in the entire region. Saint-Paul is located in a very lush setting surrounded by mountains. It offers stunning views of the valleys and the Mediterranean Sea.

The beautiful landscape, the light, the colours and the unique atmosphere of the city have inspired artists throughout the ages, painters, poets, writers who have settled in the city. At Auberge Colombe d'Or, one of the most famous restaurants in the South of France, you can enjoy not only great food in splendid surroundings, but also exquisite art on the walls. It houses one of the finest private collections of 20th century art, built up over the years as payment from penniless artists. In the priceless dining room hang paintings by Miro, Picasso and Braque.

A stroll through the narrow cobblestone streets still bears witness to the creative activity in the many studios and workshops. Galleries and shops selling exquisite crafts, clothing and jewellery make the city special.
