Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the Artists’ Balcony

Perspective

05/09/2025

Between Sky and Mediterranean, Saint-Paul-de-Vence rises above the heights of the Côte d’Azur.
Just 20 minutes from Nice International Airport, this thousand-year-old village, encircled by medieval ramparts, has enchanted generation after generation. Its cobbled streets, art galleries, and breathtaking viewpoints captivate aesthetes in search of authenticity. A cradle of the artistic avant-garde, painters such as Chagall, Miró, and Picasso found inspiration here. The Maeght Foundation embodies this unique cultural vibrancy and draws a wide international audience each year. Amid architect-designed villas and lush gardens, Saint-Paul-de-Vence offers an elegant, tranquil setting. Fine dining, charming boutique hotels, and a discreet atmosphere shape its singular art of living. A truly exceptional destination, Saint-Paul-de-Vence strikes a delicate balance between heritage, culture, and the gentle rhythm of life.
