Saint-Paul de Vence

Saint-Paul de Vence, inspired village : Saint-Paul de Vence is truly a `picture-book' village. It deserves a lot of credit : learning to live with its celebrity, courted by the entire world, living an artist's life without losing its authenti-city as a community is no easy task.

This village has displayed enough talent and common sense in resisting temptation. On its rocky spur, overlooking the Mediterranean in the distance, it has managed to find salvation by maintaining its equilibrium. A haven for the arts with its storybook looks, reminiscent of a typical Provençal `Christmas Crib', it enjoys greeting visitors who loves to stroll in its colourful streets, but has never lost sight of its essential values. This inspired village provides a common ground both for the local population and for the people who come here from all over the world.

It has motivated these few impressions, memories, actions and doings, images and silhouettes.
