Eastern Gate (1777) at Vence, France: A Timeless Beauty in the Heart of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Nestled in the picturesque hills of the Alpes Maritimes department, in the southeastern region of France, lies the enchanting town of Vence. Known for its rich history and stunning natural beauty, Vence is a popular destination for travelers seeking a taste of authentic Provence. One of its most iconic landmarks is the Eastern Gate, also known as Porte Dorée or Porte d'Orient, which dates back to 1777. This photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1909, showcases the Eastern Gate in all its glory. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with a young boy and his donkey passing through the ancient archway. The intricately designed arch, adorned with golden hues, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rugged Alpine landscape. The sun casts a warm, golden light over the scene, adding to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. The Eastern Gate is a testament to the enduring history and charm of Vence. Built during the reign of Louis XV, the gate was designed to protect the town from invaders. Today, it serves as a symbol of the town's resilience and its deep-rooted connection to its past. As you explore the winding streets of Vence, take a moment to appreciate the Eastern Gate and the rich history it represents. This photograph serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty and charm that can be found in the heart of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
