Along with Gordes, the Castellet, Les Baux de Provence and Grimaud, Saint Paul de Vence is one of the most beautiful, perched villages in the Southern Region. Built on a rocky outcrop, Saint Paul has undergone various evolutions. The village was first fortified by Francis I, in the struggle between him and Charles V. Then, the village developed around the production of citrus fruits whose bark feeds the perfumeries of Grasse, and the production of white wine. Finally, the twentieth century was marked by the influx of many artists attracted by the beauty of the landscapes. Artists like Marc Chagall. The Maeght Foundation, which was France’s first Art Foundation, is a must for all lovers of contemporary art.
