Vence

Encased behind stone walls inside a thriving modern market town is la Vieille Ville, the historic part of Vence, which dates from the 15th century. Though crowded with boutiques and souvenir shops, it's slightly more conscious of its history than St-Paul—plaques guide you through its historic squares and portes (gates).
