St Paul de Vence was the favorite village of many artist.The most famous ones were Yves Montant and Simone Signoret whom got Married there , as well as BHL & Arielle Dombasle.You can visit the house Jacque Prevert used to rent .
Beautiful place with astonishing views. We spend about half a day visiting the place. We took a bus from Nice, it was an easy 1 hour bus ride, would definitely recommend!
很棒,很有气质的山城。我喜欢这边的艺术品,还有餐厅跟画作。我希望下一次还有机会可以再来。里面的 Le Caruso 很好吃,玛卡龙很棒。
You cannot not like Saint Paul de Vence.But avoid the peak times.You will see so much art work all around the city and this is a place loved by artists and actors like Yves Montand or Picasso.
Don't miss going to Saint Paul de Vence, one of the jewels of Provence! Get lost in the maze of narrow and picturesque alleys, the beautiful gardens and ancient fountains. No wonder Saint Paul de Vence is a favourite subject for photographers.
We drove up here one January morning, and although nothing opened until around 10 am, we delighted in walking along the outside of this medieval village, taking in the views and enjoying the narrow stone streets full of greenery and little passageways. We picked up jam and other goodies from one of the shops, which I highly recommend (I wish I had more jam)! A great experience, and not far from Antibes/Nice.
As part of group tour of France, my wife and I visited Saint-Paul de Vence for a few hours. We very much enjoyed our walk through the narrow streets of this medieval village on the top of a hill – starting at the Porte de Vence, through the Place du Jeu de Boules, past many upscale shops and art studios, all the way to the outside edge of the cemetery at the other end of town. From the cemetery, we delighted in a fabulous panoramic view of the nearby countryside all the way to the Mediterranean Sea and were able to visit the grave of Marc Chagall. We loved Saint-Paul de Vence and hope to return someday.
Amazing romantic walled city. Absolute must see. Quaint little streets and lots of Galleries and citrus trees. Fantastic views.
Previous reviewers are on the mark. This is a fun, ancient, hill town with narrow streets to wander in and interesting artisans around every corner. But that bus ride is tedious, with frequent stops and, reportedly, no guarantee that you'll be able to get on the bus home when summer crowds hit. Plus our driver was the first stereotypical "rude Frenchman" that we've met in nearly three weeks in Nice. Apparently one has to announce that you're going to this destination upon boarding the bus on the Promenade- in contrast to every other place we've gone by bus and even though the 1.5 euro fare is the same. We didn't know this and he berated us. Said he was "not telepathic" and even criticized my efforts to speak French ( five years of French classes, lived in Paris for a month last year, etc ). Every other person we've encountered here has been so kind if one even makes the effort to communicate in French that so this guy really stood out as a prize jerk and left a bad taste in our mouth for the whole excursion.
这是这次法国旅行第一个让我喜欢上的地方。小小的山城,很宁静的感觉。导游介绍时说这地方有点像台湾的九份,但其实只有一点点类似而已,九份可是热闹拥挤多了(哈)。这里的气候很舒爽,喜欢阳光洒下来时弥漫在小镇中的幸福感。噢对了,这里的冰淇淋还蛮好吃的喔。
