According to our tour guide, "Its construction was motivated by a desire to add French architecture to the city following the acquisition of the County of Nice by France from the Kingdom of Sardinia." Built in the 19th century, this church is both visually stunning and remarkably peaceful. The magnificent stained glass windows, wooden columns, humongous organ, and the large wooden sculpture of Jesus lying in repose left me completely gobsmacked. Fun fact: The church was built in the Neoclassical style and features four stately columns that add to its grandeur and elegance.

Such a sad story but the result was new art! Be sure to have an ice cream in the square and stop in.

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

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.

On pense également que Saint-Paul s'y serait arrété en 63, au cours d'un voyage vers l'Espagne. Durant plusieurs siècles, Antibes fut ville épiscopale. Du 5ème au 13ème siècle, une quarantaine d'évêques se succédèrent (jusqu'en 1236). Le premier fut Saint Armentaire (442), nommé par le pape Saint-Léon le grand. Il consacra sa toute nouvelle cathédrale à la Vierge Marie. Le bâtiment fut à maintes reprises détruit et reconstruit : en 1124, d'abord, après une incursion des barbaresques, en 1608 puis en 1746, après le bombardement de la ville lors de la guerre de succession d'Autriche. (C'est Louis XV qui offrit la façade de la cathédrale). Enfin, au 19ème siècle, la façade fut rénovée par l'adjonction de colonnes en stuc et d'un faux châpiteau.
