Situated only 20-minutes from the seaside, near the top of the road that leads to the medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence and only a 10 minute walk to Fondation Maeght, you’ll find the illustrious, albeit beautifully discreet La Colombe d’Or. Originally opened in 1920 as a café bar before it evolved into an inn, where the art-loving owner, Paul Roux would accept art from the village’s residing artists–Picasso, Matisse and Chagall were among the lot–in exchange for a stay or a few meals. Today, the family-run La Colombe d’Or is helmed by Paul’s grandson, Danielle, and remains an art-filled hamlet, consisting of 24 rooms and apartments, where in addition to the famed Calder mobile that decorates the outdoor pool, the corridors, dining room, and terrace feature an impressive collection of museum-worthy works from many of the greats.
