Home description
Vence is famous for being home to artists, sculptors and painters. D. H. Lawrence died in Vence, March 1930.
The town has a small chapel, up above the historique Chapelle du Saint-Marie du Rosaire (1948, completed in 1951), decorated with stained glass and other fittings by Henri Matisse.
Within the historique village, there is a chapel that has a mosaic by Chagall on an outside wall, dated 1911.
There is a section of the old Roman road still in the village, and it can be walked on.
The town has a thriving community of artists and is a better choice than the neighboring Saint Paul if a traveller wants a unique work of art, as well as a better place to windowshop than the crowded, steep walks of St Paul.
Vence is famous for its spring water, which can be collected from numerous fountains throughout the town.
All the shops one needs, supermarkets, post offices, boutiques, and many more.
Everyday there is a small farmers market in the Grand Jardin, plus a more general market with clothes, toiletries etc. in the Old Town on a Tuesday and a Friday morning.
An extremely helpful Tourist Office right in the centre of town will guide you where you wish to go, and what activities are on offer during your stay.
