This postcard captures the picturesque town of Vence, located in the Alpes-Maritimes department of southeastern France, framed beautifully by a prominent tree in the foreground. The town is nestled against the backdrop of the Baou des Blancs, a striking mountain formation often referred to as Vence’s “Diadem” due to its crown-like appearance surrounding the town.
Vence has a rich history dating back to Roman times, with its ancient walls still encircling the medieval old town. The town became a haven for artists and writers in the 20th century, attracting figures like Henri Matisse, who designed the famous Chapelle du Rosaire (Rosary Chapel) here.
The reverse side is blank.
