Visit Vence with the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau
At the foot of the Alpine Arc, Vence offers all the authentic charm of its historic city and natural setting.
The centre of the old town has changed little over the centuries: narrow streets with Mediaeval and Renaissance houses, large and small squares, as well as shops and galleries displaying the work of many artists.
From Vence, many hiking, biking and bridle trails help discover this pristine nature.
