Shelteredby the peninsula of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Ezeboasts a beautiful Mediterranean microclimate. The medieval alleys namedCigale, Oeillets and Provence show the gentle way of life. The pink and ochre facadesof the villas of the town found amongst the luxurious vegetation of bananastrees stand out against the blue sea. The wisteria, jasmine and bougainvillea canbe found along the walls and porticos of the city. The lemon and mandarin treesleave a wonderful perfume all throughout the city.Medieval walls encircle the narrow streets and help to capture thethousand year history of the village. Visiting Saint-Paul de Vence, on your own or with a guide, lets you feel thesoul of the city, where you can see the fountain at the heart of the village thatfills Saint-Paul's medieval vaults with music. To quote the poet Verlaine:"The fountain's silvery murmur plays on."
