I have a great simplified map of the bus routes around the area, including those to St. P de V.  Simplified.  Anyone wants them, email me at pcurri@yahoo.com.

Also, Monaco and Monte Carlo in pdf format.  Great map, too!

In one word....... WOW

This is a beautiful little walled village on many tiny hills. It is an artist village with their home, shops, a few restaurants, and church.
We arrived by prearranged limo .After the driver parked the van outside the walls, we sat , had cappachino's with the locals and watched the old men playing bocchi. It was fantastic. The church bells began to chime, church was starting (communion Sunday), the villagers began to arrive with their young daughters all in communion dresses to make the trek thru the walls and up the hill to church. We went with them.
Careful when you walk, the cobble stones are slippery, the hills steep at times. Art is expensive, tourist junk is junk.
Restaurants are typical french along with prices. The views are drop dead gorgeous.

This is worth the aranging to get to. It isn't far from Cannes, but hilly so the drive takes awhile, and is well worth it. This part of France is wonderful.
The van and driver Michel, were 500.E. The van fit 8.
Michel was :kiss:

I think if we ever get there again, we will take the bus from Villefranche.  We went there on a tour, and we took the train to Monaco on our second trip, so if we get back I want to take the bus to St. Paul de Vence.  We like to ride public transportation wherever we go.  See more of the countryside with the buses.

Not to mention IT'S CHEAPER!!!
