Treasures from St. Paul de Vence
There were some wonderful treasures from the medieval village of
St. Paul de Vence and the coastline at its feet. Here are just a few…
As we were coming into the port of Villefranche, along the French
Riviera, pilot boats weren’t the only thing guiding us safely into port. This seagull seemed to take his role as guide
from the sky very seriously and kept a close eye on the ship. As you can see, I was so close to him that I
managed to be able to see individual feathers as I looked up at him. What a peaceful way to spend a few minutes in
the morning.
As we entered the village of St. Paul de Vence, there were some
homes or apartments with windows above the street level. I loved how the colors of the flowers, the
shutters and even the stones of the house all seemed to be in variations of the
same color family. They made me feel
welcome.
In a medieval village, homes on the corner seem to have a lot
more charm and character that those at home.
There is a streetlight up high that offers light to the complete area
at the corner, and the house’s door is a warm brown that seems to offer a
welcome to whoever may knock upon it.
Many of the windows of the homes in the village had flower boxes
alongside or on the window ledge, like this one. The brightness of the flowers’ color is
echoes in the brightness of the window shutters. It seems to be a beacon of warmth and
welcome.
Enjoy!
