Private tour, Medieval Saint Paul & Wine tasting

Highlights

  • The fortified village of St Paul de Vence is tiny... very tiny. It only takes a few minutes to cross the village from side to side... but... you can spend hours there discovering the fantastic views of the ramparts, the architecture of the houses, the plots, the amazing art galleries, the few little museums and the very famous cemetery. Once upon a time Saint Paul was a tiny medieval village atop the hill, looking at the Mediterranean sea, surrounded by large remparts... and then many painters like Matisse, Chagall, Duffy ... fell in love with this little jewel, The opening of the film studios "La Victorine" in Nice and the creation of the film festivals in Cannes attracted many celebrities and Saint Paul became "the place to be". Nowadays Saint Paul is considered an open-air museum. Back on the hills of Nice stop in a family "Domaine" to visit vineyards and tasting of 3 organic wines, 2 or 3 colors as second the season and the stock of the cellar, wines produced and sold only in Nice ! (if Domaine de la Source is not available that day, we will visit another family vineyard like Domaine du Toasc or similar).
