This monastery is located at high ground. The garden will be able to see the city below. It was…read morebuilt at 15 century. It has the cloister, garden and cemetery. The front is not typical tower church. The most beautiful thing is the ceilings. The vaulted painted ceilings is the major attraction. It has the small chapel. The next door cloister has art displayed. The garden is deep and at the high ground. You can see the Mediterranean Sea from here. Visit to this place need 2 hours. Parking is street side meter. It is limited spot.

The monastery itself has a beautiful exterior, and the inside is incredibly ornate. I was the first…read moreone there around 8am and was surprised it was open. No one else was there, and it was a very nice experience. It's a bit dark on the inside, and no pictures are allowed, but it is still quite beautiful. My favorite part was actually the gardens. When you walk in toward the back left, there are magnificent vistas that present great photo ops. The adjoining cemetery is also quite decadent, with every person having his or her own mausoleum in lieu of a traditional headstone. Make sure to check out Henri Matisse's grave while you're there! That being said, it is a bit out of the way. If you're already venturing into Cimiez to check out the Matisse museum then it's no extra effort, but otherwise it may not be worth exploring if you are on a tight schedule. I intended to visit the monastery's museum also, but unfortunately it is closed from the 8th to the 25th of August 2022. Bummer. Still, for an extra hour (not counting transportation), you can visit the monastery, see the museum, take a stroll in the gardens, and check out the cemetery that is home to Henri Matisse. Definitely worth it if you aren't otherwise engaged! Happily, Clayton Cohn

A nice little church/cathedral at one of the most prolific views in Cannes France. Can't beat…read morethat! The views are up here are amazing and taking the stairs up is a journey on its own. It was a bit warm today, so the climb up was a bit of a challenge, but well worth it. We even came across some super model doing a fashion shoot in a bikini. However, once the priest made an appearance she covered up quick! A nice little place to visit, as it's a beautiful cathedral while also having amazing views.

If you have seen the Cannes sign, the church is nestled on a hill overlooking the city. It looks…read moremore like a medieval, stone castle than a place of worship at first glance. If you're not a Christian or religious of any sort, the church won't look like anything you haven't seen before to be honest. There is a lot of space to take pictures of the church inside and outside, the city and coastline, and the Cannes sign visible to people who walk the city streets below. To get up there, you have to walk a steep side street that has a fairly large incline. For older people, it might be more taxing and exhausting to expend that kind of energy. That being said, the sights are worth seeing at the top. Cannes doesn't have the extent of attractions a big city would have but this is one of their prime ones so it's imperative to check it out if you're staying here for enough time.
