SAINT-PAUL-DE-VENCE, WHERE ART MAKES HISTORY
Perched on its promontory and surrounded by ramparts, this small village crossed by 1000 years of history has welcomed many artists whose footsteps still resonate in its cobbled streets.
Picasso, Braque, Modigliani, Matisse, and even Chagall (who is buried there) stayed at the Colombe d’Or, the famous local inn.
In the 1950s, many personalities from the 7th art met there, such as director Henri Clouzot or the legendary couple formed by Yves Montant and Simone Signoret.
A 20-minute walk away, the Maeght Foundation houses one of the most important art collections of the 20th century.
