Where to Stay

Formed out of the remains of a 12th-century Knights Templar castle, with siege-thick walls, and original chapel and tower, Chateau Saint Martin & Spa , is in the countryside near Vence, with great views. It’s about a 45-minute drive from Monaco and a 10 minute drive to the famous Saint Paul de Vence.

Where to Eat

• Cagnes sur Mer: The restaurant at Chateau Le Cagnard in the medieval town center.
• São Paulo de Vence: The restaurant at Colombe d’Or has an upscale courtyard terrace. Have a casual lunch at the chic Byro Alle (healthy and creative cuisine in a chic setting) or at Les Remparts (great cocktails on a bobo-chic terrace with expansive views) in the heart of St Paul de Vence. Alain Llorca is just outside the old city.
• Countryside of St Paul de Vence: Au Jardin de la Vague is a modern and minimalist restaurant that’s great for lunch.
• Tourettes sur Loup: Spelt is a charming restaurant with a terrace that looks out over the hills.
• Vence: L’Ambroisy in Vence.

What to Do

There are a lot of fun day trips you can take to explore nearby towns.

• Mougins & Valbonne: Take a day trip to the charming towns of Mougins and Valbonne , about 30 minutes drive (check traffic conditions on Google Maps before leaving). Walk around the pedestrian-only area.
• São Paulo de Vence: Spend a day exploring St Paul de Vence (the most visited town in France). If you are into art, go to Fondation Maeght .
• Cagnes: Spend a couple of hours wandering around the old medieval town of Cagnes sur Mer , and visit the Chateau Museum and the Jewelled Art Museum . Pickup something precious at the cute jewelry shop in the square . Then go to dinner at the charming hotel Chateau Le Cagnard . This hotel is very charming and a nice place to spend a night. Note: entering the old town requires parking just outside and you can either have the hotel shuttle you or you can take the very short walk into the old town.
• Vence: Spend a few hours walking around the old center of Vence (only the pedestrian city center, as the surrounding area is nothing special) and eat at L’Ambroisy .
