Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the town of art where time flows slowly

#July Travel Support Fund Saint-Paul-de-Vence is located on a hill near Nice, but the moment you enter the village, it feels like you’ve entered a completely different world. The ramparts, stone paths, and old buildings remain intact, making it feel like you’ve traveled back in time to the Middle Ages, and the flowers and small signs blooming in every alley add to the warm atmosphere. As you walk through the village, you’ll naturally come across small galleries, workshops, and artists’ studios. You can find glass crafts, ceramics, and paintings everywhere in the alleys, making the walk feel like visiting an art museum. It was clear that Chagall, Picasso, and Matisse stayed here and were inspired by them. The Fondation Magg Museum was the place that best displayed the artistic sensibility of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The sculptures and paintings that you can appreciate in a space where architecture and nature are perfectly combined were even more special, and the hills and the Mediterranean Sea stretching out in the distance seen from the museum garden were art in themselves. From the observation deck at the end of the village, you could see Nice and the blue sea at a glance. The moment you looked out at the scenery with the warm Provençal breeze, you could fully feel the leisureliness of this village. The slow time spent with rosé wine and cheese in a small cafe under the ramparts was the charm of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Saint-Paul-de-Vence was not a tourist attraction to quickly look around, but a town to walk slowly, feel, and stay in. This place, filled with art and romance, will remain in your heart for a long time after your trip. #Saint-Paul-de-Vence travel #Provence emotional village #Small city near Nice #Mag Foundation Museum of Art #Village of Chagall and Picasso #French alley walk #Provence art village #Mediterranean view #Saint-Paul-de-Vence observatory #French vlog #Recommended small European city #Where art stays #Provence scenery #Recommended slow travel #Nice France #Living in Provence for a month #Alley travel #Small city of French emotion #Chagall's inspiration #Saint-Paul-de-Vence cafe
