From today, and during several days, I'll take you with me for a long stroll to Saint-Paul-de-Vence.(You'll find some more pictures on my other blog).
Saint-Paul est un petit village médiéval situé à l'est de Nice.Perché sur une haute colline, il était autrefois destiné à protéger l'ancienne frontière avec le Var. C'est pourquoi c'est un endroit fortifié, entouré de remparts.

Saint-Paul is a small village from the Middle-age located on the west of Nice.Sticked on a high hill , it was build to protect the ancient frontier with the Var.That's why it 's a fortified place, surrounded with ramparts.
~~
The village has kept its medieval aspect,with its thick walls, its bell tower, its roofs made of round tiles...
Pour entrer , il faut passer sous une grande porte, où l'on peut voir un canon de 1544!
~~~
To enter into the village, you must cross an old gate, where you can see a cannon from 1544!
La vue depuis les remparts montre le paysage alentour, parsemé de cyprès et de mimosas en fleurs en cette saison.
~~~
The sight from the ramparts shows the landscape with cypress-trees and mimosas for which it's the blossom season.
~~~
On the skyline, the Mediterranéan Sea...
~~~
There is only one street around the city, following the ramparts; Inside the ity, you can only walk.
~~~
The view towards the south, with the old cimetery, more mimosas, and the sea...
~~~
The medieval donjon and the bell-tower are standing side by side in the grey sky.
En marchant, on peut voir les maisons, toutes anciennes, avec leurs murs de pierre, leurs grandes jarres, leurs fenêtres arrondies...
~~~
Walking through the streets, you can see the houses, each of them being very ancient, with tall walls, big jars, round windows...

Voilà un joli projet! J'aime beaucoup ce petit village, je m'y arrête à chaque fois que je viens dans la région! J'ai pratiquement les mêmes photos, mais avec un ciel d'été...
Bonne journée Malysse
I looked at the pictures first and recognized the place at once. I was there just once many years ago. It's a lovely place. Brings back good memories. thanks for posting Malyss!
Many historical building on the hill.

A fascinating place. All those cannons peeping out of the walls, narrow street, fantastic views - it has got it all!
