The
town of Vence
Situated in the hills above Nice, on the French Riviera, Vence is about 20 miles from
the airport. Vence is a centre of the flower growing industry,
with small flower markets held several times a week in the charming
square. The pedestrianised old town is a maze of narrow streets
with many artisan shops, bars , cafes and restaurants. The beaches
of Nice and Cannes are within easy reach as are the hill top villages
of Saint Paul de Vence and Tourettes, with many art galleries and
museums associated with the artists of Provence.
Local facilities
Several golf courses are in the vicinity and tennis courts are
in the edge of the town. Classical and Jazz Concerts are held in
the square throughout the summer. Vence and the surrounding villages
are full of restaurants and there are two large supermarkets as
well as numerous delightful food and wine shops in the old town. |
