STEVE AND CAROLE IN VENCE

Vence

Our home in France! We’ve been coming here for almost 15 years, staying for weeks or months at a time whenever we could, renting apartments and hotels. It’s the perfect French village for us. Not too big, not too small. 20 minutes from the beach, an hour from the mountains. Wonderful, friendly people and all the commerce we need. A few tourists, but nothing like what you’ll find down on the coast. Enough things going on to keep us busy and entertained, but just far enough away from the craziness found on the Côte d’Azur. We can step outside the door of our apartment and walk to basically anything we need in less than five minutes. We’ve called it home since May 30, 2019.
