The little village's brush with celebrity has made it one of the most touristed destinations on the French Riviera. Yet beneath the stardust there are serious artists and artisans still working in St Paul. Their works are for sale in the shops and boutiques that line the main street. What else to do in St Paul besides shop? Take a walk around the walls; the view over the hills to the sea never fails to delight. At the tip of the village, you'll come to the cemetery which contains the tomb of Marc Chagall, another former St Paul denizen. He chose the most relaxing spot in St Paul for his everlasting rest. Outside the village is the Fondation Maeght, a first-rate contemporary art museum with an extraordinarily restful sculpture garden. Although the museum is only a kilometre or so out of the village, the climb is steep; try to arrange your walk in the cooler hours of the day.
