Vence is a Provençal town in Alpes-Maritimes, between the hills of the hinterland and the Côte d’Azur coast. Its old town can be explored through ancient lanes dotted with gateways and squares, while the surrounding landscape combines hills, gardens and mountain views. The town attracts visitors interested in art and heritage, as well as travellers looking to combine urban walks with trips into the hinterland.

The Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady and the historic gateways are among the landmarks of old Vence. The Chapel of the Rosary, designed and decorated by Henri Matisse, is a memorable visit for discovering 20th-century religious art. Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a village known for its galleries and the Fondation Maeght, is 3.2 km away. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 8 km away; it serves the region and makes it easier to arrive from other cities. The area is easier to explore by car, which lets you reach hilltop villages and trails in the hills.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are well suited to walking tours and excursions into the hinterland. Summer brings a livelier atmosphere to the Côte d’Azur; it is best to plan visits to the old town for the morning or late afternoon. You can spend a day exploring Vence’s lanes, the Chapel of the Rosary and the collections at the Fondation Maeght, before returning to enjoy the garden and pool. Outdoor enthusiasts will also find hiking routes in the surrounding hills.
