When one thinks of the French Riviera, the glamorous and glitzy towns of Cannes, St Tropez and Nice immediately spring to mind. Despite the obvious appeal of these stylish and affluent towns, there are plenty more villages on the Cote d\u2019Azur that are more than worthy of worldwide recognition.<\/p>\n

\"Saint-Paul<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The beautiful hilltop village of Saint-Paul de Vence is one of them.<\/p>\n

Boasting incredible views that sprawl down to the glistening Mediterranean Sea below and with fascinating medieval ramparts, Saint-Paul de Vence is a truly remarkable town on the French Riviera to visit.<\/p>\n

So what exactly is there to do in the hilltop village of Saint-Paul de Vence?<\/p>\n

Meandering through the narrow winding streets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brimming with elegant boutiques, characterful cafes and charming art galleries, walking down Saint-Paul de Vence\u2019s quaint and narrow streets is a pleasure in itself.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a graceful water fountain or a stone wall covered in vines, you never quite know what you\u2019ll find when you turn corner after corner in this pretty hilltop village.<\/p>\n

Exploring the medieval fortress walls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Medieval fortress walls surround Saint-Paul de Vence. The entrance to the town was built in the 1400s. These medieval ramparts feature a canon muzzle, which is a trophy from the Battle of Cerisoles in Italy that took place in 1544.<\/p>\n

Buying affordable and thoroughly unique artwork<\/strong><\/p>\n

With such inspiring views, it is hardly surprising that Saint-Paul Vence is known as an \u201cartist\u2019s village\u2019. Art plays a central role in the town and what is particularly refreshing is that arts and crafts in Saint-Paul de Vence offer great value for money.<\/p>\n
