Remparts de Saint Paul de Vence

Perched on the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, you enter a real journey through time. Built in the 16th century under Francis I to protect the village, these perfectly preserved ramparts today offer an exceptional walk mixing history and panorama. Walking along these memory-laden stones, you enjoy a spectacular view of the Provencal hinterland: green hills, pine forests, elegant villas and, in the distance, the Mediterranean that sparkle on the horizon. It’s a suspended moment, where we fully understand why this village has inspired so many artists.

La Chapelle des Penitents Blancs

The Chapel of the White Penitents, located at the entrance of the village, is a unique place where contemporary art dialogues with history. Entirely revisited by Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon, it offers an immersive and poetic experience. From the entrance, light, colors and shapes envelop the visitor in an almost unreal atmosphere. The stained glass windows, frescoes and sculptures tell a universal vision of humanity, mixing spirituality, simplicity and emotion. This unique place, both intimate and inspiring, deeply marks visitors and is a must-see stop in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
