Less than an hour's car journey from Cannes you can discover the regal
town which was so greatly loved by Marc Chagall. It rests t the top
of its headland with its back against the Southern Alps, facing the
glistening blue of the Mediterranean. Beyond the ramparts of this
little village you will find some of the most beautiful places.
It is without doubt the year round idyllic climate, the luxuriant
flora and the surprising and strange light which evokes the Gardens
of Hesperides of the Cocagne that manage to fascinate creators and
artists.
This village is the cradle of Provence, it radiates its cultural
and artistic patrimony.
Talents, sensitivity and emotions as well as delicate and intense
sensations all merge to please the eye.
Each visit is filled with new wonders, be it the first of hundredth,
each trip is a source of news surprises and discoveries. Let yourself
be carried away by the gentle, dream-like scents of the airy gardens,
saunter down the medieval streets where time seems to stand still,
contemplate a view of the coast which counts amounts the most beautiful
in the region.
Visit the galleries and artists studios, each as stunning and well-recognised
as the next or see the Chapel of Saint Clement, master piece of baroque
art.
Saint Paul is also the "petanque" of the game of bowls
which was made legendary by noblemen of this area as Yves Montand
and Lino Ventura. You will be able to do just what these celebrities
did and pit yourself against local talent, playing for the first
time alongside a master.
The "Foundation Maeght" is the cultural institution of
the region. It will lead you on a voyage of the master works of
Fauvism Marc Chagall, as well as Miro, Braque, Léger, Giacometti
and Calder.
Saint Paul de Vence has all the charm of a picturesque village
from the Middle Ages which has always succeeded in seducing the
lovers of enlightenment and art.
It is an incomparable, sun-drenched view point, lit after sunset
by the stars of the night sky.
Its unforgettable beauty will make your heart skip a beat.
