Last weekend, we spent a day in St. Paul de Vence. We spent the first hour in hour bus because it was pouring outside! Within minutes the street became a river. Once it cleared up, we walked up to the town. Like Eze, St. Paul is largely built into rock. When I imagine a european village, I imagine St. Paul. Unlike newer, more superficial towns, St. Paul has held onto its old charm. While it does have many boutiques and galleries, it is less industrialized than other French towns, which gives it unique feel. One of my favorite aspects of the town were the hidden boutiques. One store in particular sold small water color prints of different parts of St. Paul. I found a beautiful painting of a village street for 8 euros!
When we were walking back to the bus, the rain picked up again. At first it was a light mist, but within minutes it became a heavy down pour. We were soaked from head to foot. On the bright side though, we were lucky to have had such great weather while touring the town. The day just couldn't have ended any more similar to how it started!
