Vence The famous 'Rosaire Chapel' -better known as the Matisse chapel- is dating from 1951. Its magnificent glass mosaics bear witness to the artist's unique sense of light and colours.
At the aperitif time, the heart of the town around the central market square becomes a lively place, with animated discussions and petanque players. The best place for a glass of pastis with local cheese!
It is also on the « Place du Grand Jardin » that every year during the summer takes place the « Festival des Nuits du Sud », a festival of music from all over the world which has been very successful during the last 10 years.
