Depart Villefranche and soon reach the city of Nice, where you will drive through town, passing the famous Promenade des Anglais. Now, you head inland to St Paul de Vence—a medieval city with an imposing silhouette. Perched high upon an escarpment, St Paul de Vence is the quintessential fortified town of Provence, and its ramparts are still amazingly intact. Painters such as Modigliani, Signac and Soutine met at a local café which has since become the sumptuous Colombe d’Or. Return to Villefranche via the freeway.
Notes:
The drive to St Paul de Vence is approximately 1 hour each way. This tour requires extensive walking up and down hills and over uneven and cobblestone surfaces. Not recommended for guests with limited mobility.
