Saint Paul de Vence

After the 60-minute ride you arrive in the idyllic village of St Paul de Vence, a 16th-century gem perched on a rocky spur, embraced by ancient ramparts. Wander through time as you explore narrow cobblestone lanes, capturing the magic that once inspired renowned painters like Signac, Modigliani, and Bonnard in the roaring twenties.

Marvel at the village's medieval allure, preserved within its mostly intact ramparts. Discover hidden treasures in charming boutiques, and pause for a moment of reflection at the petite 12th-century Gothic church nestled amid architectural splendor.

After some free time, reboard our coach for a leisurely return to the ship, cherishing the memories of a day filled with beauty and discovery.
