Chapelle du Rosaire, Vence

Nice chapel to visit. The best part was that one can see the original work of saint Matisse, also they described the history of the chapel beautifully. Very nice concept of Saint Matisse of simplifying the pictures and art forms. But it was expensive: 7 euros per person and it was close when we went so we need to wait from 1-2 pm for it to open.

Incredible place to catch the sunset in the garden after checking out Matisse’s modern masterpiece. Go for lunch or dinner at La Colombe and a glass of wine or cocktail later at Le Ring!

Lovely little chapel designed by Matisse, very nice introduction provided before you enter as well as different drafts of his vision for the wall paintings and stained glass. Tranquil outdoor space overlooking a gorgeous valley, and fun upstairs display of Matisse-designed priest robes in bright colours for different religious events. Very glad to have seen it before walking from Vance to Saint Paul du Vance village. For Matisse fans, it's a must!

Well worth a visit. The art is stunning in this fantastic setting. We spend a wonderful two hours here exploring every aspect of the museum and chapel. You can attend services here. Check the website for details. Parking can be difficult.

Simple and beautiful as his understanding of religion. The cross with the crescents on the rooftop is quite unusual combining the symbols of Christianity and Islam. As if he wanted to tell us that there is one God, one Creation. I love the message.
