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.

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.

I came here in the afternoon. It was oddly quiet. Apparently, I walked in on a funerary mass and I stuck out like a sore thumb! I had taken a picture before this realization and I left after that.

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.

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'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.
