See the galleries of Saint-Paul-de-Vence

You'll spend this day on the Riviera following the painters, writers and film stars who fell for the hilltop villages of Provence, and in some cases never left. Your driver-guide leads you through ramparts built on royal orders, down lanes where the galleries almost outnumber the houses, and into a modern art collection set among pine trees and sculpture gardens, with big names from the 20th century on show. Stop for lunch wherever takes your fancy (it isn't included, so choose freely), then round off the day in another medieval village on a ridge, full of history and quiet squares. It's easy-going enough for children, and grown-ups will enjoy it just as much.
