A village of artists and memories
With its preserved heritage and cultural aura, Saint Paul de Vence is one of the most famous villages on the Côte d'Azur. Its cobbled streets, imposing ramparts and listed monuments bear witness to centuries of history, while its artistic tradition continues to radiate around the world.
From the XIVᵉ century to the present day, the village has retained much of its authenticity. The collegiate church, the Pénitents blancs chapel decorated by Jean-Michel Folon, the medieval towers, the oil mill and the Place de la Grande Fontaine make up an exceptional heritage ensemble. No fewer than eleven sites are listed or registered as Monuments Historiques.
In the XVIᵉ century, François I erected powerful ramparts to protect the town. Admirably preserved today, they offer a unique setting for walks in this perched village.
In the XXᵉ century, figures such as Simone Signoret, Yves Montand, Jacques Prévert and Marc Chagall made Saint Paul de Vence a popular destination for artists. Their legacy lives on through the galleries and studios set up in the village. The proximity of the Maeght Foundation, dedicated to modern and contemporary art, further reinforces this creative identity.
Saint Paul de Vence has remained a village where history, art and local life coexist harmoniously. Its Provencal charm, combined with its international reputation, makes it one of the French Riviera's jewels.
