Ah, the south of france! Beautiful palm trees, medieval villages, and gorgeous coast... Hello! It's been a while! I'll be honest with you, I do find it hard to keep up with my blog when I'm trying to run a million things at one time, but hey ho, here we are (a year and a half after this trip but no biggie really). I've been wanting to post this for a long time, and now that we're all quarantining, I thought I'd give you some inspo for when we all get out and you can go out! So, let's start in Nice. Nice is nice (hehe), but I wasn't as impressed with it as I was the other places. My fave thing was Confiserie Ballanger in Nice. Oh it was just gorgeous! Everything was pink and their churros were DELICIOUS! Honestly highly recommend making a stop there if you're in Nice, it's dessert galore! Eze Next stop - Eze! So I've had my heart set on Eze for years, ever since I first found it (I believe I found it on Instagram). Honestly it is Instagram central with it's cobbled stone streets and gorgeous corners everywhere you look (you can find a few of my Eze prints up in my shop! Click here for my Etsy) It is absolutely gorgeous, but quite honestly there's not THAT much to do there. We went to the botanical garden (Le Jardin Exotique D'eze) which was one of the top things to do there. It was so gorgeous being able to see all the beautiful plants and with the beautiful view of the sea. However, it is quite a pricy place and definitely worth it if you're prepared to spend the cash for a nice day out. There are a few 5* restaurants there and you can walk down the streets for beauty everywhere you look. We had a coffee after our trip to the botanical garden, and then made our way down towards the sea to sunbathe. Recommended to see the beautiful sights! If you're driving there, you can park on the hill car park and then walk up. There isn't anywhere to drive into the city itself as it's on a hilltop. Menton Next stop - Menton! Ah, beautiful Menton. It was more like Nice but has its own charm. Colorful buildings everywhere you look, and the sea is directly in front of you, with a beautiful sunset behind you. We only spent an evening and had some dinner there, but it was worth a trip to see it, and you should definitely spend some time at the beach there if you get the chance! Villefranche-Sur-Mer Ah what a beautiful place! We went there basically because I saw Julia from Gal Meets Glam suggested it, and boy was it an amazing place to go to! It's on top of a hill and you can go through the winding streets all the way down to the beach. Lots of little french stops to stop by, and just another one of those places to endlessly wander the streets. We went when it was quite hot so all we craved was some ice cream and a beach, but we hadn't brought our beachwear so we went back to the airbnb to cool off by the pool. Definitely worth a visit to see the beautiful colorful streets! Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild Not far from Villefranche-sur-mer is this gorgeous villa which also happens to be a museum. "A member of the Rothschild banking family and the wife of the banker Baron Maurice de Ephrussi, Béatrice de Rothschild built her rose-colored villa on a promontory on the isthmus of Cap Ferrat overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The Baroness filled the mansion with antique furniture, Old Master paintings, sculptures, objets d'art, and assembled an extensive collection of rare porcelain. The gardens are classified by the French Ministry of Culture as one of the Notable Gardens of France. On her death in 1934, the Baroness donated the property and its collections to the Académie des Beaux Arts division of the Institut de France and it is now open to the public. The villa is surrounded by nine gardens, each on a different theme: French, Spanish, Japanese, Florentine, Provençal, exotic, a stone garden, a rose garden, and a garden de Sèvres. They were created between 1905 and 1912 under the direction of landscape architect Achille Duchêne." We had such a lovely time exploring all the different gardens - they were so impressive, as well as the pink exteriors themselves! St Paul de Vence And finally, I've saved the best for last. My absolutely favorite part of our whole trip! This place was actually recommended to us by the guy who served us at the car rental place whose name I didn't get! This place blew me away. It was similar to Eze, but almost more accessible and with lots more to do and see. It's also been known as the 'celebrity playground' as it has seen so many famous celebrities throughout time, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Kirk Douglas, and Michael Caine to name just a few... lots of history to this place! The landscape is absolutely stunning, even preferable than to Eze I would've said. Endless independent shops where you can find locally made foods and spa essentials, and lots of quirky art. I would go back here in a heartbeat! Another place I managed to get some pictures of that I've popped on my Etsy shop. Overall, we had a gorgeous time and I highly recommend going to the luxurious French Riviera when you get a chance and explore all it has to offer!

Take an evening walk around St Paul de Vence, a picture perfect almost too-beautiful-to-be-true Provençal village on the Côte d'Azur France.

Nestled away in the hills, Saint Paul-de-Vence has a bit more breathing room than the coastal cities of the French Riviera like Nice, Cannes, and Monaco. Larger than Èze, but still small, this place reminded me so much of the Luberon Villages we had visited a couple weeks before. Just a half-hour drive from Nice, it’s […]

We discover what to see in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, an exquisite hilltop town in Provence, a place of cobbled streets and sun-baked houses...

St Paul de Vence is probably the loveliest of the perched villages you'll find in the south of France. This sweet, little village became a magnet for artists and art lovers in the 1920's, when

Do you love charming European hilltop villages? For a peek at one of the loveliest, check out Saint-Paul-de-Vence in the South of France.

Saint-Paul-de-Vence is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of Southeastern France. One of the oldest medieval towns on the French Riviera. The architecture in this quaint Provencal village is so charming and there are beautiful scenes at every turn. This is one of my most favorite towns in Provence. The buildings are made of stone and the streets are cobblestone. There are arches and shops, art galleries and fountains. This photo comes in a variety of standard sizes and is printed on archival paper. NOTE: some sizes such as 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 will require some cropping of the original image.

A place that's frozen in a time-warp of the past, here's a quick guide to the best things to do in Saint Paul de Vence...

Just tidying up my emails - a New Year's effort - and was reminded of colourful Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes when I found a blog post I'd saved here from Motifs by Thomas Golsenne. He posts in french but you could translate the article via google or view the images. I also posted on this artist last year here on my own blog. Samambaia, Casa de Baile (vitres) et Milk Mel (2008), Paris Fondation Catier These works interplay wonderfully with colour and light - depending on time of day. I'd rather like to experiment with this possibility given the right space. Kids try this out with coloured cellophane... taking it a step further would be rather interesting..... Im thinking also layered panels of glass too! Milzhaze' work above remind me of Matisse's windows shown below: Henri matisse - Rosaire Chapel windows, St Paul de Vence, France, 1951 You can read more on the Matisse artworks for this chapel here at Wiki which links to other sites too. You can view this interview from last year here: Interview de Beatriz Milhazes à la Fondation Cartier Uploaded by FondationCartier. - Discover more animation and arts videos. Kandinsky, Quelques cercles, 1926 / Milhazes, Sinfonia Nordestina Brazil is in our thoughts today ... the deluge and landslides have brought great losses to this country.

I had three hours to myself. I wasn’t interested in navigating solo through Nice but instead wanted to get a taste...

You can’t miss spending at least one day in Saint-Paul-de-Vence so I have prepared a list of fun things to do in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

This is the same photo in my previous St Paul de Vence. I have enhanced the colors to bring out the gold and yellow in the buildings. It seems to have brought out more detail also. This was a beautiful hill town in the south of France.

It's also been known as the 'celebrity playground' as it has seen so many famous celebrities throughout time, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Kirk Douglas, and Michael Caine to name just a few... lots of history to this place! The landscape is absolutely stunning, even preferable than to Eze I would've said. Endless independent shops where you can find locally made foods and spa essentials, and lots of quirky art. I would go back here in a heartbeat! Another place I managed to get some pictures of that I've popped on my Etsy shop. Overall, we had a gorgeous time and I highly recommend going to the luxurious French Riviera when you get a chance and explore all it has to offer!

Ah, the south of france! Beautiful palm trees, medieval villages, and gorgeous coast... Hello! It's been a while! I'll be honest with you, I do find it hard to keep up with my blog when I'm trying to run a million things at one time, but hey ho, here we are (a year and a half after this trip but no biggie really). I've been wanting to post this for a long time, and now that we're all quarantining, I thought I'd give you some inspo for when we all get out and you can go out! So, let's start in Nice. Nice is nice (hehe), but I wasn't as impressed with it as I was the other places. My fave thing was Confiserie Ballanger in Nice. Oh it was just gorgeous! Everything was pink and their churros were DELICIOUS! Honestly highly recommend making a stop there if you're in Nice, it's dessert galore! Eze Next stop - Eze! So I've had my heart set on Eze for years, ever since I first found it (I believe I found it on Instagram). Honestly it is Instagram central with it's cobbled stone streets and gorgeous corners everywhere you look (you can find a few of my Eze prints up in my shop! Click here for my Etsy) It is absolutely gorgeous, but quite honestly there's not THAT much to do there. We went to the botanical garden (Le Jardin Exotique D'eze) which was one of the top things to do there. It was so gorgeous being able to see all the beautiful plants and with the beautiful view of the sea. However, it is quite a pricy place and definitely worth it if you're prepared to spend the cash for a nice day out. There are a few 5* restaurants there and you can walk down the streets for beauty everywhere you look. We had a coffee after our trip to the botanical garden, and then made our way down towards the sea to sunbathe. Recommended to see the beautiful sights! If you're driving there, you can park on the hill car park and then walk up. There isn't anywhere to drive into the city itself as it's on a hilltop. Menton Next stop - Menton! Ah, beautiful Menton. It was more like Nice but has its own charm. Colorful buildings everywhere you look, and the sea is directly in front of you, with a beautiful sunset behind you. We only spent an evening and had some dinner there, but it was worth a trip to see it, and you should definitely spend some time at the beach there if you get the chance! Villefranche-Sur-Mer Ah what a beautiful place! We went there basically because I saw Julia from Gal Meets Glam suggested it, and boy was it an amazing place to go to! It's on top of a hill and you can go through the winding streets all the way down to the beach. Lots of little french stops to stop by, and just another one of those places to endlessly wander the streets. We went when it was quite hot so all we craved was some ice cream and a beach, but we hadn't brought our beachwear so we went back to the airbnb to cool off by the pool. Definitely worth a visit to see the beautiful colorful streets! Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild Not far from Villefranche-sur-mer is this gorgeous villa which also happens to be a museum. "A member of the Rothschild banking family and the wife of the banker Baron Maurice de Ephrussi, Béatrice de Rothschild built her rose-colored villa on a promontory on the isthmus of Cap Ferrat overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The Baroness filled the mansion with antique furniture, Old Master paintings, sculptures, objets d'art, and assembled an extensive collection of rare porcelain. The gardens are classified by the French Ministry of Culture as one of the Notable Gardens of France. On her death in 1934, the Baroness donated the property and its collections to the Académie des Beaux Arts division of the Institut de France and it is now open to the public. The villa is surrounded by nine gardens, each on a different theme: French, Spanish, Japanese, Florentine, Provençal, exotic, a stone garden, a rose garden, and a garden de Sèvres. They were created between 1905 and 1912 under the direction of landscape architect Achille Duchêne." We had such a lovely time exploring all the different gardens - they were so impressive, as well as the pink exteriors themselves! St Paul de Vence And finally, I've saved the best for last.
