La Colombe d'Or :

Located at the entrance of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, it is more than just a hotel-restaurant: it is a legendary institution where art and living gastronomy come together to create a unique experience.

Since 1920, the Roux family has welcomed artists and travelers to this historic place, where works by Picasso, Matisse, Calder, and Léger adorn the walls and courtyard—often given in exchange for a meal or a night’s stay.

The cuisine, simple and generous, celebrates Mediterranean flavors. It embodies “sun-drenched cooking,” so dear to Paul Roux.

Every August, for four days, Saint-Paul-de-Vence comes alive with the Feast of Sainte-Claire, a cherished tradition where the art of celebration is expressed through devotion, color, and sparkle.

Surrounding the village, rolling hills, olive groves, and verdant landscapes provide a perfect backdrop for leisurely strolls or photography sessions. Throughout the year, Saint-Paul-de-Vence captivates visitors with its soft light and tranquil ambiance.
