Vence: Old Town, Chagall Mosaic and an Evening in the Square
In Wences Leno during the mountainous part of the trip, but we were glad to have spent time in the city itself. In the evening we went out to eat in the square, and the next day we returned to the alleys of the Old City and to the cathedral. The visit at different times allowed us to enjoy both the evening recreation and the art and history of the city.

Evening in the city and a good meal
In the Place du Grand Jardin area, an art event took place, which was not particularly impressive. We had more fun than dinner at the Grand Jardin.L’AmbuscadeA grill restaurant where the food was delicious and the price convenient after a day of traveling and walking between the villages, it was pleasant to sit in the square and eat leisurely.
In the morning we returned to the square hoping to find a food market, but because of the event there were only a few small stalls. If you are coming especially for the market, it is worth checking in advance if it is held as usual at the time of the visit.
The Church and the Mosaic of Chagall
In the Old City, we entered Notre Dame de la Natibita Cathedral, near the Town Hall. It was built where there was a Roman temple and an ancient church before. The ancient inscriptions and stones we saw add to the visit a reminder that the place had been used by residents for many periods.
The mosaic of Chagall, from 1979, depicts Moses being carried away from the water. Chagall lived in the Wenes from 1950 to 1966, and the work also expresses his connection to the city. We came closer to seeing the small stones and colors, and then we moved away to look at the whole picture. This was one of the parts we loved when we visited.
The visit to the cathedral was relatively short, but added to the city's tour also art and history.Saint-Paul de Vance We visited both of them, and Bowens also chose to stay.
