Vence lies on the first foothills of the Alpes-Maritimes, between the Nice coast and the villages of the hinterland. Its old town is made up of narrow historic streets, small squares and medieval gates, with views across the hills and, on clear days, the Mediterranean. The town suits travellers who want to alternate between heritage, walks and days on the coast without staying in a seaside resort.

You can explore the old town on foot, with the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady, the Chapel of the White Penitents and the Fernand Moutet viewpoint among the landmarks in the centre. The Rosary Chapel, designed by Henri Matisse, is a notable place to visit. The Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence brings together modern and contemporary art in a complex known for its sculptures and garden. The village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, with its ramparts and galleries, rounds out the visit. Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport is 11 km away; Vence is about a 27-minute drive away.

You can start the day with a walk through the streets of Vence, then continue with an art visit in Saint-Paul or a trip to the Nice coast. In summer, the coast attracts more visitors and temperatures are high; spring and the shoulder season are well suited to walks in the villages and hills. A car makes it easier to travel between Vence, the hilltop towns and the sea. Hikers can also choose trails in the nearby hills, while rainy days are suited to museums and historic buildings in the centre.
