Absolutely stunning Cathedral in the center of old town Nice. It is definitely worthy of your time…read more There are dozens of beautiful paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries and one triptych that is new. A new triptych in an old cathedral? How could that be?? Yet there it was and it was gorgeous. Painted by Hugo Bogo and installed in May 2019. The chapel had burned and they needed to put new painting there. Such a sad story but the result was new art! Be sure to have an ice cream in the square and stop in.

Gorgeous cathedral in town. It's undergoing some renovation at the moment so you cannot see it all…read more It's beautiful inside and lots of intricate a artwork and the building itself is also very beautiful with a colourful dome.

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
