Saint Paul de Vence on the French Riviera – May 2025

The French Riviera is quite a stunning area. We went to the town of Saint Paul de Vence and it was a spectacular medieval town and we spent a few hours wandering around and taking it all in. For over a 1,000 years, Saint Paul de Vence has been situated on a rocky peak offering views of the Mediterranean Sea to the Mercantour Mountains, simply stunning scenery. It’s also an artists mecca, so there were many galleries and stores with unique and beautiful pieces. Below is a photo I took from a distance.



We also drove to the Fragonard Parfumerie. I do not wear perfumes, I can’t really get past strong scents but I do find the whole process fascinating.

After a wonderful stay in the French Riviera, we headed off to Nice for the night and had the evening to walk down by the water and see this lovely city.

Next stop, we go to Arles and then Carcassone………two of my favourite spots. Stay tuned…
