Medieval alleys and art galleries of Saint-Paul-de-Vence

Saint-Paul-de-Vence is a walled hilltop village in the hinterland of the Côte d'Azur. Its narrow cobbled lanes hold galleries, studios and small squares. From the ramparts you look over the surrounding hills and valley and glimpse the village's calm, art-woven life.

Though the streets are hilly and cobbled. Comfortable shoes with grip are needed. Summer middays are hot, so morning or late afternoon suits the walk. Ask about the rules before photographing inside galleries.
