Vence
La Vieille Ville, the historic part of Vence, is encased behind stone walls inside a thriving modern market town and dates from the 15th century. Though crowded with boutiques and souvenir shops, the Old Town is conscious of its history—plaques guide you through historic squares and portes (gates).
