One of the most visited villages in France, Saint Paul de Vence is a picturesque fortified town little changed since feudal times. Built on a spur between two valleys, the surrounding slopes are covered with vines, flowers, oranges and cypress trees. At the beginning of the 20th century, St Paul became the favorite place of numerous painters and artists, who concentrated in the Inn of the Colombe d’Or. It always has its ownership of the works of certain artists. The main road that runs through the centre of the town is lined with 16th and 17th century painted houses with archways and loggias. The small Grande Fontaine square is very attractive with its famous urn-shaped fountain and vaulted wash-house. The 12th century Gothic church houses some beautiful works of art. Next to the church is the old watch-tower where one can still walk along the watch-keeper’s path and admire the superb view of the valley covered in flowers, the Alps, the sea, Cap d’Antibes and the Esterel Mountains. Local Atmosphère Lunch Location An extraordinary setting with a breathtaking view on the famous village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

Ceded by treaty to France by the northern Italian kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, these two mountainous border territories had long been culturally and geo-strategically in the French orbit. Unlike their counterparts in any other province of France, the inhabitants of the two territories were asked to approve or reject the annexation treaty, and thus their incorporation into France, in a plebiscite employing universal male suffrage.
