Activity itinerary

Remparts de Saint Paul de Vence

  • 20m
Perched on the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, you enter a real journey through time. Built in the 16th century under Francis I to protect the village, these perfectly preserved ramparts today offer an exceptional walk mixing history and panorama. Walking along these memory-laden stones, you enjoy a spectacular view of the Provencal hinterland: green hills, pine forests, elegant villas and, in the distance, the Mediterranean that sparkle on the horizon. It’s a suspended moment, where we fully understand why this village has inspired so many artists.

La Chapelle des Penitents Blancs

  • 15m
The Chapel of the White Penitents, located at the entrance of the village, is a unique place where contemporary art dialogues with history. Entirely revisited by Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon, it offers an immersive and poetic experience. From the entrance, light, colours and shapes envelop the visitor in an almost unreal atmosphere. The stained glass windows, frescoes and sculptures tell a universal vision of humanity, mixing spirituality, simplicity and emotion. This unique place, both intimate and inspiring, deeply marks visitors and is a must-see stop in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

Collégiale Saint-Paul de Saint-Paul-de-Vence

  • 15m
The Collegiate Church of the Conversion of Saint Paul, located in the heart of the village, is a true witness to the history and soul of Saint Paul de Vence. Built between the 14th and 18th centuries, it blends several architectural styles, from Romanesque to Baroque, reflecting the different periods of its evolution. Inside, you will discover a rich artistic heritage, including remarkable works such as a painting by Tintoretto and a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement. The atmosphere is peaceful and spiritual, offering a moment of calm in the heart of the bustling village, while connecting to the deep history of this iconic place.

Place du Jeu de Boules ou Place De Gaulle

  • 15m
Place du Jeu de Boules, also known as Place De Gaulle, is the true living heart of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Here, time seems suspended between tradition and authenticity. In the shade of plane trees, players compete in typical Provencal pétanque games, in a warm and friendly atmosphere. All around, cafés and art galleries recall the artistic history of the village, frequented by big names like Picasso or Chagall. Descending down the Rue de la Prison, one of the oldest in the village, you plunge into a maze of cobbled streets, lined with stones full of history, where each detour reveals a new charm.

Fontaine de Saint-Paul-de-Vence

  • 15m
The Fountain of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, located in the heart of the village, is an emblematic place full of history and life. For centuries, it has been an essential meeting point for the inhabitants, where they once came to draw water and exchange news from the village. Even today, it retains this authentic and soothing atmosphere. Surrounded by ancient stones and nestled in the middle of picturesque alleys, it offers a moment of freshness and pause in the discovery of the village, while testifying to the daily life of old in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

Saint Paul de Vence Cemetery

  • 15m
The cemetery of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, located at the end of the village, is a peaceful and emotional place. Offering one of the most beautiful views of the valley and the sea in the distance, it invites a moment of contemplation out of time. Marc Chagall, an emblematic figure linked to the history of the village, lies here. Between cypress trees, ancient stones and the soft light of the French Riviera, this place gives off a unique atmosphere, mixing serenity, memory and beauty of the surrounding landscape.
