Hilltop Villages and Iconic Artists

Submitted by carmine.nezi on

You’ll quickly understand why some of the world’s great artists spent time in Saint-Paul-de-Vence as you stroll the narrow cobblestone walkways between stone buildings adorned with vines and colorful flowers. In one of France’s oldest medieval towns, you will visit the renowned modern art museum featuring works by celebrated artists like Chagall, Giacometti, Léger and Miró. Further inland, wander in and out of galleries and workshops in Tourrettes sur Loup, a charming hilltop village nicknamed the “Violet Village” because of the violets that grow in abundance here. The day ends in Biot, a hilltop town famous for its glassmaking. After a stroll through the Old Town, participate in a glassblowing workshop and purchase a beautiful glass memento to remind you of this amazing adventure.
