The Matisse Chapel is one major thing to see in Vence.
** Description by wikipedia
Chappelle du Rosaire is often referred to as the Matisse Chapel or the Vence Chapel, is a small chapel built for Dominican nuns in the town of Vence on the French Riviera. It was built and decorated between 1949 and 1951 under a plan devised by Henri Matisse. It houses a number of Matisse originals and was regarded by Matisse himself as his "masterpiece." While the simple white exterior has drawn mixed reviews from casual observers, many regard it as one of the great religious structures of the 20th century.
It's very small but lovely.
The small garden of the church in the back yard has a beautiful view of the town.
The cross on the roof shows his character. I believe the simplicity is sometimes the best.
The well-polished corridor
Matisse simply used yellow with blue on white.
The most beautiful and cozy altar of the church I've ever seen before
a small window of the stairwell
And this!
I met him or her on the street very near the church. He(or She) has very unique hair style as a dog fully covered with dreadlocks except for his or her little cute tongue. This hairy dog reminds me the Jamaican singer-songwriter, Bob Marley. ^_^
Wow, check this out! His or her backside was gorgeous as well, ha ha.
