Vence
Vence is a veritable jewel in the crown of Provence.

A splendid ash tree legend has it was planted by Francoise I in 1538, the 12th Century tower which overlooks the town, the 17th Century Castle of Villeneuve – today a fabulous modern art museum – and the Fountain of the Peyra, with its famous and deliciously cool spring water, are but a few of these treasures.
