On this episode of Eat the Damn Bread, I’m taking you beyond the City of Light and into the sun-drenched hills of the South of France to one of the most magical places I’ve ever wandered, St. Paul de Vence.

Don’t get me wrong, Paris is, well...Paris, but sometimes the most Parisian thing you can do is skip Paris and choose stillness over spectacle and presence over pressure, which is what the French lifestyle is really all about.

Tune in because I’m sharing:

• Why St. Paul de Vence completely stole my heart

• How you can get there easily from Nice (on a budget or in style)

• What makes this village feel like a living, breathing piece of art

• Where to sip rosé, see Picasso’s legacy, and feel James Baldwin’s spirit

This town feels like Provence and the Riviera fell in love and had a very chic baby—and trust me, it’s worth the visit. I’ll also let you in on how we’re incorporating this dreamy spot into my upcoming French Riviera Retreat, including a golden hour dinner that will be very hard to rival and unlikely to forget!

✨ Whether you travel with me or venture out solo, I hope this episode inspires you to slow down, explore with intention, and fall in love with the parts of France that don’t always make the top 10 lists—but leave a lasting mark on your soul.
