Saint-Paul-de-Vence - French picturesque village :)

 Saint-Paul-de-Vence

 

One of the oldest medieval towns on the French Riviera, it is well known 

for its modern and contemporary art museums 

and galleries such as Fondation Maeght 

which is located nearby.

 

Unfortunately, it was Sunday and I just found one place to buy postcard :)

 

Great narrow streets.

Nice impression - continuation! Palais Lascrais :)

Palais Lascrais

 

The Palais Lascaris is a seventeenth-century aristocratic building in Nice, today a musical instrument museum. Located in the old town of Nice, it houses a collection of over 500 instruments, which makes it France’s second most important collection. (wiki)

 

 Wonderful paintings on the ceiling :)

 

 And free tickets for students, even Polish :D

The area contains the Musée Matisse and the ruins of Cemenelum, capital of the Ancient Roman province Alpes Maritimae on the Ligurian coast. Cemenelum was an important rival of Nice, continuing to exist as a separate city till the time of the Lombard invasions.
