What to do and see in Cimiez, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur: The Best Things to do
The deep blue waters of the Cote d’Azur are the dramatic backdrop for elegant Nice. Breathe in the fresh Mediterranean air as you stroll the waterfront promenade, or get an eagle eye of the whole city from atop Castle Hill. The pedestrians-only Place Rossetti is the heart of the city, with a grand fountain, vibrant buildings, and the beautiful Sainte-Réparate cathedral giving it a provincial French feel.

Lucky artist to have a custom made house for his works - and even already during his lifetime! Especially with the wonderful Biblical Message cycle in mind! The Biblical Message was what I enjoyed viewing the most and it made me thinking of not so lucky Alfons Mucha, who had painted beautiful poetic monumental cycle Slav Epic and his paintings are "homeless" so far. I like the way the Biblical Message is presented in this museum. I extremely enjoyed viewing the documentary about Marc Chagall, not only because the documentary was well done, but was screened in a "theatre" room with comfortable chairs, with stained glass windows by Marc Chagall himself and there even was a harpsichord decorated by him there. In other rooms there were also his other paintings, sculptures, drawings and ceramics to be seen. Also an interesting mosaic in the yard to be admired through a glass wall. I highly recommend seeing this museum.

My husband and I were visiting Nice and were fortunate to enjoy a walking tour, as well as, a private sightseeing tour. We spent a lot of time photographing the various famous sights and monuments including the Centennial Monument (Monument du Centenaire). According to available literature, "The monument was commissioned for the centenary celebrations of the Republic in 1892. It was inaugurated on March 4, 1896 and listed as a historic monument on July 23, 2009. "The monument consists of a kind of very tapered pyramid surmounted by a bronze statue representing a victory (Nike in Greek, allusion to the mythical origin of the name Nice) wrapped in a French flag and oath of loyalty, alluding to the city's motto "Nissa fidelissima." At the base of the pyramid, the main group, in white marble, depicts Nice giving itself to France (a young girl kissing a woman holding a beam). France does not wear a Phrygian cap but a helmet and its breast is not bare. Its look is calm, which associates it with the idea of order. It is therefore a moderate, prudent and legalistic Republic, at the same time maternal, reassuring and pacifying. "The city of Nice is covered with its walls, thus taking up an old medieval representation. Four figures, at the corners of the base, should have, according to the original draft, represented the benefits of the annexation, but they were not realized. The city's weapons are carved in the center of the basement. At the back is a representation of the Mediterranean. "The inscriptions are much more numerous than on previous monuments and aim to explain the meaning of the statue as well as to maintain the memory of local elected officials. On the front of the pyramid are the dates 1793-1893 and below: 1860. The purpose of the monument is therefore to commemorate not only the meeting of 1793, but also that of 1860." Very picturesque. Lots of history. Enjoy your visit!
