Explore the picturesque village
Alikatt Says: The ever so charming village of Eze has attracted the likes of Pablo Picasso and other artists. More recently, member of the U2 band have summer places there...so I hear. Start with a lunch preferably over looking the fantastic view of the sea and Caps bellow (Antibes,...
NiceLife Says: One of the lovely private villas off the Avenue Matisse, on the hill facing old Vence and the valley from which the town rises. Turquoise balustrading. Ravishing.
NiceLife Says: The flag-decked Town Hall in central Vence, located in the market square, where suprisingly, a market is held most mornings.The colour scheme is strong peach and sand. I guess it wouldn't work on a South London terrace. Sky's the wrong colour: grey
NiceLife Says: Welcome to Vence, a town which has always attracted artists, painters and poets. Dufy, Matisse, Chagall, Dubuffet.
NiceLife Says: Vence is your archetypal medieval market town. Bigger than the twee tourist centres like St Paul, Vence manages to mix ancient and modern. The hillsides around Vence are an ideal sought after location for those second home owners who want a villa and pool in Provence at an...
NiceLife Says: Next to the town hall, the cathedral, which houses the Chagall mosaic, dating back originally to the 5th Century. The market itself is probably one of the more interesting aspects of town life
NiceLife Says: Not dissimilar to the water urn found in the grande Rue at St Paul de Vence
vivalasteph Says: As you pass Le Frene, the large ash tree planted in 1538, you enter the Port du Peyra and come across this charming square, lined with shops and restaurants, and the public fountain, which dates to the early 19th century.
La Colombe d' Or: the Provencal foodie's lunch destination
Alikatt Says: It was already busy when we got there for lunch on a hot summer day but as soon as the first dish arrived, we forgot about the heat! Everything was fresh, grown locally or caught in nearby waters. Seafood was succulent, vegetagles were crispy and the presentation was just...
Colombe d'Or: A romantic date place
cyndayco Says: Just outside the walls of St. Paul de Vence, this is a historic home that has been turned into fabulous little hotel and restaurant. Home to one of the greatest private collections of modern art, it's always nice to gaze at Picassos and Matisses while you're waiting for the...
vivalasteph Says: Take the 400 or 410 bus from Gare Routiere in Nice to Vence and St.-Paul-de-Vence.The 400 is a local, making several stops on the way to Vence - the total travel time is about an hour.The 410 is a direct (it does stop in Cagnes) route to Vence and takes about 50 minutes....
vivalasteph Says: After reading about the sport of boules, and it's very 'male' inclination, I was shocked and pleased to find these ladies playing, and arguing, in the park.
NiceLife Says: At the Rond Point of Vence, near the bus terminus, visitors to Vence will be greeted by this striking large urban sculpture. Its definitely a bird, though I have yet to figure what its connection is to Vence. May be it was intended for somewhere else, or the local council...
vivalasteph Says: Take a turn off the Place Godeau and find yourself in this special courtyard. With a passageway built for one, gentle curved steps, and blooming geraniums, this haven will warm your heart.

Vence is another "village perché" which is an easy day tip from Nice. Like Biot, the best "thing to do" is to wander, explore, and get lost in the narrow streets and squares. The sign below describes...
