Ancient Diocese Of Vence
The former French Catholic diocese of Vence existed until the French Revolution. Its see was at Vence in Provence, in the modern department of Alpes Maritimes.
After the Concordat of 1801, the territory of the diocese passed to the diocese of Nice.

“Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.”
