The day before we left we were in Vence which is a charming hillside village close to Nice and is the site of the Chapel of the Holy Rosary that Matisse decorated and felt was one of his finest achievements. As always with Matisse, the simplicity and charm are outstanding. I couldn't take pictures of the inside but I have one of the roof and his campanile....lovely, I lthink.
In another church in Vence I did sneak a picture of a sculpture called Virgin Mary 2000...I love the lines. We visited the cemetary where D.H. Lawrence was buried for 5 years...he died here from T.B. and took a picure of the plaque.
Also had a fabulous lunch in Vence...roast beef in pastry with a wonderful mushroom sauce.
