ENTER THE WORLD OF ART...
Self-guided tours, no reservation required:
- The Maeght Foundation: explore the rooms and gardens and discover the works of Giacometti, Chagall and Léger, the history of the Maeght family and the architecture of the buildings designed by Sert.
- The CAB Foundation: Dedicated to the minimalist and conceptual movement, the art center created by Belgian collector Hubert Bonnet draws its inspiration from the constructive period to the present day, presenting the work of artists with a singular aesthetic and artistic practice.
- La Chapelle Folon: Discover the admirable work of artist Jean-Michel Folon and his craftsmen. An invitation to learn more about the links he has forged with Saint-Paul de Vence over more than thirty years.
Great idea! There's a lovely 20-minute walk from the village to the Fondation Maeght. On the Chemin Sainte-Claire, discover the rural chapels, two reproductions of works by Marc Chagall and a panoramic viewpoint over the village.
Activities on reservation (activities open to children and accessible on foot):
- Awaken your inner artist! Get inspired by the creativity of our artists and craftspeople: straw marquetry with Olga Thune Larsen; recycled papier-mâché with Marie and Jérémy from the Jam Design Studio.
STEP INTO HISTORY...
- A stroll through the village: The village of Saint-Paul de Vence hides many treasures within its ramparts. Take your time to discover them, in the bend of a street, behind a fountain, at the foot of a bastion... Stroll through the pedestrian heart of Saint-Paul de Vence to discover its history and heritage. Self-guided or guided tour.
- Just follow the guide! 8 themed guided tours offered by the Tourist Office.
Few villages offer so much evidence of the past. Follow your guide through the winding streets of the village as you walk through history. The Tourist Office's guide-lecturers know all about the great historical events that have shaped the village's architecture and artistic identity.
Monday to Saturday by appointment.
- Try your hand at pétanque! Under the plane trees of the world's most famous hard-sand square, try your hand at the famous Provencal game of boules with a pétanque master. Can you stand on your "tanned feet"? Doing Fanny? Petanque will hold no secrets for you. Yves Montand pointed, Lino Ventura shot... and you?
Monday to Saturday by reservation.
Also discover the new interpretation trail of the bastioned fortifications along the western ramparts, with its connected heritage signage. Self-guided or accompanied by a Tourist Office guide.
