Vence

Vence is a commune set in the hills of the Alpes Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France between Nice and Antibes.

The town has a small chapel, up above the Cité Historique Chapelle du Rosaire (1948, completed in 1951), decorated with stained glass and other fittings by Henri Matisse.

Within the historic village, a medieval walled village, there is a chapel that has a mosaic by Chagall on an outside wall, dated 1911.

There is a section of the old Roman road still in the village, rue de la Coste, and it can be walked on.

Vence is famous for its spring water, which can be collected from numerous fountains throughout the town.

Vence, "City of Art", is a lovely town sitting in the fresh air of the hills only a few km from Nice and Antibes. The town is full of flowers and, in the area around the town, aromatic flowers, olives and colorful orange trees are cultivated.
