It combines medieval charm, a rich artistic history and magnificent views over the region.<br\/>It&#8217;s very well preserved and lively, with many art galleries and restaurants.<br\/>We particularly enjoyed strolling along the ramparts to admire the views over and around the village.<br\/>The village is renowned for its art scene (particularly in the 20th century). It has attracted many famous artists, including Marc Chagall, who lived and worked there, as well as Renoir and Picasso.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The must-dos<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alleys with little gems for you to discover<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walk along the fortifications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomb of Chagall and the Maeght family<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The many art galleries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Maeght Foundation is a 5-minute drive away<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Best-of\/n-PbwqvZ\/Villages\/i-79RtDzb\/0\/e123fb4f\/L\/Saint_paul_de_Vence_village-L.jpg\" alt=\"Ruelle de Saint Paul de Vence\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get there<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>West of Nice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Between Antibes and Nice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From Nice: 35min drive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a multi-storey pay parking lot just outside the town center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>or take a guided tour from Nice &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/nice-l314\/depuis-nice-demi-journee-en-provence-et-degustation-de-vin-t83580\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=PL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">see program<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The village is on a fairly flat area at the top of a hill, with not too many slopes or steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be careful with fortifications, there is no protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid wearing shoes with heels, as the floors are cobbled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
