How wonderful to be so close to Vence and Matisse’s iconic Chapelle du Rosaire, just a short drive away.

Villa Mercure is located just outside the historic and artistic village of Vence in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of southern France, only 18km from Nice Airport. There are spectacular views from the many terraces towards the Côte d’Azur hinterland as far as the glistening Mediterranean.
The hillside town of Vence (4km) is a joy to explore as you stroll around its charming lanes appreciating its rich heritage and charm. Come across delightful shops, art galleries, medieval chapels and pretty squares, always admiring the viewpoints. Experience the market at Place Clemenceau on a Tuesday morning and dine out in gastronomic restaurants.
Art lovers note that just outside the town is Matisse’s famous Chapelle du Rosaire. This area is also a paradise for keen walkers – the nearest hike starts at the waterfall just a short distance from the villa and you are well located for the Baous de Vence trails as well as many spectacular routes through the hills and by the coast near Cap d’Antibes.
St Paul de Vence (9km) is another picture-perfect village close by, home to the highly regarded Fondation Maeght art exhibition centre with its Joan Miró sculpture garden. In the historic village itself, follow the footsteps of great artists and writers as you pass or even dine at La Colombe D’Or hotel-restaurant.
Visit Cagnes-sur-Mer’s (12km) Musée Renoir in its old quarter and the popular Polygone Riviera shopping centre in its outskirts. Heading to the coast, take a long walk along Cagnes-sur-Mer’s beachside promenade which leads to the Hippodrome de la Côte d’Azur, a must for horse-racing enthusiasts.
Of course, the allure of Nice (25km), Cannes (34km) and Monaco (47km) also await, as does the charm of Antibes (23km) and the glorious beaches of Juan-Les-Pins (25km). Meanwhile, find time to visit other idyllic villages and towns of the hinterland including the market town of Valbonne (25km), the perfume studios of Grasse (25km) and the flower-filled lanes, art galleries and high-end restaurants of Mougins (32km).
