Location & what to see

Vence is a small town in the Alpes-Maritimes, between the coast and the first hills of the hinterland. Its old town has narrow streets, small squares and stone buildings clustered around the cathedral. The town appeals to travellers who want to combine heritage walks with trips to hilltop villages or the coast, without staying in a large seaside resort.

From Place du Frene, Château de Villeneuve and its museum spaces are 20 m away; the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady is 130 m away. The centre is easy to explore on foot, passing through the old gates and passageways of Vence. Fondation Maeght, dedicated to modern and contemporary art, is 2.5 km away. Saint-Paul-de-Vence, known for its ramparts, galleries and artists’ studios, is 2.9 km away. The coastal beaches and Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport can be reached by car; the airport is 9 km away.

In spring and autumn, the mild temperatures are well suited to walks around the centre and trips to Saint-Paul-de-Vence. In summer, you can spend a day by the sea and then return to Vence’s narrow streets in the late afternoon. Art lovers can combine Fondation Maeght with the cultural attractions in the centre, while the hinterland trails offer another way to explore the hills. A car makes it easier to travel between the town, nearby villages and the coast.
