Full of high end art galleries and restaurants. Foundation Maeght is worth a visit.
The cemetery at the far end of town is the final resting place of Russian royalty who had escaped to the South of France during the Russian revolution. Its fabled that they are busied in graves marked out with different names to protect their identity.
