Local History Museum
INFORMATION COVID-19 - The Museum of Local History remains closed to the public until further notice.
However, the Folon Chapel reopens its doors to the public every day from 10am to 12.30pm and from 2pm to 6pm. Thank you for taking this opportunity to wear a mask, to apply barrier gestures and to respect the measures of physical distance between people.

King François I, Vauban, Queen Jeanne and many other historical figures have gathered in an ancient village house to recount events that marked the history of Saint-Paul de Vence. The wax dummies in the museum were manufactured by the Musée Grévin in Paris and are dressed in period costume.
A fun and informative museum, one of its kind on the French Riviera.
