Saint-Paul de Vence, inspired village :

Saint-Paul de Vence is truly a `picture-book'

village. It deserves a lot of credit : learning to live

with its celebrity, courted by the entire world,

living an artist's life without losing its authenti-city

as a community is no easy task.

This village has displayed enough talent and

common sense in resisting temptation. On its

rocky spur, overlooking the Mediterranean in

the distance, it has managed to find salvation by

maintaining its equilibrium. A haven for the arts

with its storybook looks, reminiscent of a typical

Provençal `Christmas Crib', it enjoys greeting

visitors who loves to stroll in its colourful streets,

but has never lost sight of its essential values.

This inspired village provides a common ground

both for the local population and for the people

who come here from all over the world.

It has motivated these few impressions, memories,

actions and doings, images and silhouettes.
