insights by our critic
Although some visitors come to Vence only to see Matisse’s otherworldly Chapelle du Rosaire, the village has a charming and well-preserved medieval town centre, much of which dates back to the 13th century.
Check out some of Vence’s gastronomic talent on the restaurant-fringed Place du Peyra, stroll through lovely place du Frêne with its 500-year-old ash tree, or take time to appreciate Marc Chagall’s mosaic in Vieux Vence’s cathedral
