Saint Paul de Vence is a place steeped in art history. Set up on an idyllic hillside just a 30-minute journey winding up out of Nice, the town holds many stories of now-legendary artists – the likes of Picasso, Chagall, and Matisse – who exchanged paintings for rooms at the now iconic hotel, La Colombe d’Or. The phrase 'if the walls could talk' comes to mind when you walk into this place, which is now an incredible chic spot open for drinks and dinner, so you can stand awestruck with a rosé in hand as you admire the original works.
The town is also home to the modern art collection at Fondation Maeght – and it still draws new artists and gallerists from across the world. It is the perfect home for Toile Blanche, a boutique art-led design hotel that, just like the town, has artwork at its core.
