Oval old town
The medieval centre forms a compact, rounded block of lanes, its outline still traced by the line of the former walls and the roads that follow them.

On the wall



The map
Vence sits on a rise in the hills behind Nice, a short distance inland from the Mediterranean, and one clear shape dominates its map: the old town, an almost oval knot of narrow lanes once enclosed by walls. Around it, the newer town unrolls along roads that bend with the slope, and villas scatter among terraced gardens on the land that falls toward the coast.
Historic gates lead into the old centre, and inside, the lanes converge on the former cathedral and a few small squares. On paper this core reads as a dense, fine-grained patch set against the looser boulevards that circle it. To the north, the limestone cliffs known as the Baous rise steeply, and the streets thin out quickly where the ground climbs.
Vence has a long association with artists. Henri Matisse designed the Chapelle du Rosaire, completed in 1951, down to its stained glass and vestments, and Marc Chagall lived in the town for several years. A Vence map poster captures the setting they knew: an old hill town seen from above, with the Riviera spread out below it.
The medieval centre forms a compact, rounded block of lanes, its outline still traced by the line of the former walls and the roads that follow them.
Steep limestone cliffs rise north of the town, and the map shows the street pattern ending abruptly where the terrain turns to rock and scrub.
The Chapelle du Rosaire stands on a road outside the old centre, a small building on the map with a large place in twentieth-century art.

Why Vence
This is a map for anyone who has walked the lanes of the old town, stayed on the Côte d'Azur, or cares about the places where modern art was made. The contrast between the dense core and the open hills gives it a quiet, balanced composition.
Add your own title, a subtitle such as the dates of a stay, and adjust the coordinates line, then pick one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper and Sand suit the warm stone of the town particularly well.
