La Ville des Artistes
12km away from Nice, built on its rocky outcrop and surrounded by its ramparts built on the orders of François I°, St Paul is certainly one of the most beautiful villages in Provence. You can find signatures from some famous artists: Matisse, Modigliani, Chagall, etc., at the Fondation Maeght which has a large collection of paintings, sculptures, drawings and other graphic works from the XX°century.
Walk around the narrow and so picturesque streets of the village, you will discover magnificent stone façades from the XVI° and XVIII° centuries. Lose yourself in the maze of charming streets, the floral exuberance of the gardens, the little shady squares, ancient fountains, gateways and porches, or wonderful windows and you'll see why St Paul is a favourite subject for photographers.
The city is filled with art galleries, and the cobblestones are formed into shapes like flowers. It is also conveniently located just a few minutes from Nice and Cannes.
Even in rainny day, I fell in love with it!!! C'est très mignone!!!
