Another picture of central Vence. The church in the background was extremely old (of course). It had two latin-enscribed tablets on either side of the front door that date back to something like 100 A.D. There was also some artwork by Chagall inside. |

On another day, we travelled to the countryside villages of Provence and the Alpes-Maritimes. This is a market in the village of Vence. |
