Arrived in Vence, a medium sized town about 20 minutes north of Nice. Perfect cycling weather, in the mid 20's, dry with no wind - long may that continue.
Vence is described in my little Provence guide as an artistic town with "painters, sculptors and writers of many nationalities living here". I did question the accuracy of this when on taking a stroll around the guest house there was just row upon row of crappy 1970's / 1980s flats. Wandered almost by accident into the historic centre which is quite pretty but not really enough time to look around properly. We are staying here again on our last night so hopefully will get the chance to explore properly.
Did manage to find the main town square and noted with a wry smile that this artistic pretty centre of town was host to a (very) amateur rock band "Speed Rock Machine " blasting out some of their tunes to the audience of three people. Two of the three people were shouting "rock n roll man" which I assumed to be a result of some mind-bending drugs they were on but it seems that this was actually one of " Speed Rock Machines " tunes as when I walked back past 15 minutes later they were blasting out "rock and roll man" to the same audience of three people. All a bit surreal really.
Love to all.
