The Maeght Foundation is an art museum which has one of the largest collections in Europe of paintings, sculptures and graphic works from the 20th century.
Saint Paul de Vence is a fortified Provençal village. This village has a lot of small art galleries.
The main square of the fountain in Saint Paul de Vence is the historic heart of this Provencal village. Moreover in the 17th century it was also the market place.
This 17th century chapel was occupied by the "Confrérie des Pénitents Blanc" until 1920. It was restored in the early 2000s. It received a decor entirely designed by the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Foulon.
This souvenir shop is a 17th century cellar. You can also taste the wines of the region.
This religious monument created in 1322 is one of the must-see historical sites of Saint Paul de Vence. It was built at the high point of Saint Paul de Vence next to the old castle of the lords of Saint Paul, of which the tower remains (current town hall).
It is an old medieval village on the heights of Cagnes sur Mer with its castle at the highest point. It is one of the few medieval quarters on the Côte d'Azur, which makes it rare on the Côte d'Azur

When requesting English speaking guide confirm. While we got from A to B in style our guide didn't speak much English and our French if very rough so we literally sat in a quiet car. Not at all what I was hoping for.
Dear Shannon, this is a tour with a driver and not a guide for a professionnal you can request as an extra cost.
We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Philipe picked us up just as we exited the cruise ship in Cannes...so convenient! We had customized this day to visit Eze and St. Paul de Vence. We loved both towns and Philipe gave us excellent car service!
