Cathedrale Saint-Nicolas a Nice

This Russian cathedral was built in the early 20th century in honor of the son of Aleksandr II tsarevich Nicolai, who died in Nice after failing to recover from tuberculosis.

Not withstanding the religious aspect of the building. It is a wonderful example of Russian Orthodox Church Architecture and a gem to visit . It is located in the centre of Nice and is easily located. I would strongly recommend you put it on your itinerary.

Chapelle de la Garoupe

Reviewed By cellapink

I attended Mass at this lovely chapel in June 2019. My friends and I walked up there from Antibes Old Town. The location is wonderful, with fabulous views of the mediterranean. The interior of the chapel is quaint and contains many references to maritime life and memorials honoring sailors. Nearly everyone there for Mass was French, and there were just a few of us Americans present, but we were treated so very warmly by everyone there. After Mass, there is a little outdoor area where everyone sits and relaxes and talks. If you are a person of faith, I think you will really enjoy this experience.

Cathedrale Sainte-Reparate

Reviewed By Rose90264 - York, United Kingdom

The cathedral of Nice is well worth a visit! Open Monday 2-6 and Tuesday-Sunday between 9-12 and 2-6. Entry is free and donations are welcomed. Free tours in English and Spanish are currently available from volunteers from ARC until September 1st, when the basilica will be open during lunchtime. Catholic mass is on Saturday's at 6:30pm in French. Mass is also on Sunday's at 10am in French and 12pm in Latin. Inside the basilica there are 10 chapels with small labels in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Russian. The cathedral sells a guide of the basilica in English, French and Italian for €1 in their shop. There is amazing Baroque art and architecture in the beautifully restored basilica. It is exquisitely embellished with gold and rich colours, characteristic of the Baroque style. Next to the basilica there is an 18th century campanile. The basilica is surrounded by cafes, restaurants and ice cream shops! A lovely area not to be missed!
