Vence "City of Art", is a lovely town sitting in the fresh air of the hills only a few kilometers from Nice (21 km) and Antibes (20 km). In the historic town (inside the walls) there are terrace cafés on the Place Clémenceau, with a view of the beautifully decorated church and the activity of this busy square. Outside the walls, near the Porte de Peyra, the terrace cafés beneath the plane trees facing the Place du Grand Jardin are great for sitting and watching even more activity. Vence has been a market town for centuries, and the core of the food market is along the very narrow rue du Marché inside the walls. Flowers, fish, honey, bakeries, endless variety of fresh vegetables, herbs and spices all add their colors and fragrances to the feeling of the markets. Local markets can be found on the Place Clémenceau inside the old village, or as part of the weekly foire at the Place du Grand Jardin.

Vence is also a town of artists, with painters, sculptors and writers of many nationalities living and working here. The town is full of galleries and other examples of their work, with sculptures, decorated buildings and frequent (summertime) outdoor exhibits. Famous painters who worked in Vence include Dufy, Soutine, Matisse, Chagall and Dubuffet. In 1930, D. H. Lawrence spent his last days in Vence, and was buried here; he was later dug up and taken to New Mexico. Another internationally known writer (and seer and doctor), Nostradamus had something good to say: "Garden of Vence, marvel of Provence". The famous village of saint-Paul de Vence is only 4 kilometers away.
