Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a jewel of a Provence town where artists stayed

#July Travel Support Fund Saint-Paul-de-Vence was a small town on a hill near Nice, but inside, hundreds of years of history remained intact. The stone walls and alleyways seemed like they had gone back to the Middle Ages, and wherever you looked, it was like a painting. As you walked slowly through the town, small galleries, workshops, and ateliers naturally came together. Colorful flowers bloomed in the windows, and old signs and artworks hung on the walls, making the entire town feel like an art museum. I immediately understood why artists like Chagall, Picasso, and Matisse were inspired by this place. The Fondation Maggh Museum was a must-see in this town. The architecture and nature were in harmony, and the sculptures in the outdoor garden perfectly matched the scenery. The hills overlooking the museum and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance were breathtakingly peaceful. When I stood on the observation deck, I could see Nice and the sea at a glance. Just looking at the scenery while feeling the warm breeze calmed my mind. It was also an unforgettable moment to spend some leisurely time enjoying Provencal wine and cheese at a small cafe near the entrance to the village. Saint-Paul-de-Vence was not a tourist attraction to see quickly, but a village to walk slowly, stay, and feel emotions. This small village where art and time coexist will remain in your heart for a long time. #Saint-Paul-de-Vence travel #Provence hill village #Nice suburban small city #Mag Foundation Art Museum #Chagall Picasso's village #France alley walk #Provence emotional travel #Saint-Paul-de-Vence view #Mediterranean scenery #France vlog #European small city recommendation #Village where art stays #Provence scenery #Slow travel recommendation #Nice suburbs, France #Living in Provence for a month #Alley travel #French emotional small city #Places that Chagall loved #Saint-Paul-de-Vence cafe
