St Paul de Vence / Vence area

Local shops, restaurants and boulangeries can be found approximately 500 metres away, and a large supermarket is just 1 km away. The villa is superbly located within walking distance of the town centre, so it’s easy if you want to shop for fresh food each day. Then of course there is the obligatory trip to the boulangerie each morning! Another good thing, there’s no debate over who’s driving if you want to enjoy a glass of wine or two! There are lots of specialists shops in Vence too, like wine shops, delicatessens, cheese shops, patisseries and art galleries.

Local markets are held in the town’s main square and in the old town. Here you can choose from wonderful displays of olives, cheese, fish, vegetables and flowers.

Sporting activities in the area are abundant– there is golf, tennis, fishing, water sports and the beach. You are also in very close proximity to the mountains and hills of the Alpes Maritimes region here, which makes walking and cycling very popular. The town of Vence also boasts 2 outdoor swimming pools, which are open from May to September.

Beaches can be found close by in Cagnes-sur-Mer (15km) and Nice (18km).

The ski stations of Valberg, Isola 2000 and Auron are approximately 1 hour’s drive away if you fancy a couple of days winter sports!

Getting around is very easy from here. There is a good bus service (500 metres from the villa), which has routes around the region, to the airport and Nice. The nearest train station is at Cagnes-sur-Mer approximately 12km away. A car would be useful but is not essential here

How to get there
