Detailed itinerary

Vence's history dates back to Roman times, as evidenced by its winding medieval streets and ancient architecture. The jewel of the town is the Chapelle du Rosaire, designed by the iconic artist Henri Matisse. The chapel has long been a magnet for artists seeking inspiration. Here you'll find the Rue Grande, with its alleyways and staircases leading to some of the most amazing restaurants, galleries and art supplies shops. There is also a terrace with stunning views. The city's cultural scene is vibrant and diverse. Throughout the year, Vence hosts various exhibitions, music festivals and cultural events. The Place du Grand Jardin, with its bustling cafés and shady terraces, is the centre of the action, where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy live music, street performances and a vibrant atmosphere.

Eze is famous as one of the most beautiful medieval towns in France. Visiting the village of Eze is like stepping back in time. Here you will have time to wander the maze of cobbled streets and soak up the atmosphere wherever you go. Although the village is small, every corner, shop and restaurant is worth a stop. You'll also see traditional houses where the ground floor is used to keep goats and donkeys, or perhaps as a workshop or souvenir shop. Eze is famous for its Jardin Exotique, an amazing hilltop garden with a remarkable collection of rare succulents and cacti from around the world. As you walk through this botanical wonderland, the panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline are simply breathtaking. The garden's terraces offer a peaceful retreat and are a must for nature lovers and romantics alike.
