MONUMENTS AND CHURCHES
Old Town
Whilst wandering through the old town, take a look at the "ogival
arches" above some of the shops, dating back to medieval times.
They have been carefully restored, especially in the Rue du Pont Vieux
and Rue de la Préfecture. You can also see many examples of stone
lintels on the facades of private houses.
- PLACE ROSSETTI. In front of the Cathedral Sainte-Réparate,
in the heart of old Nice, this square is one of the liveliest parts
of town with its restaurant terraces and ice-cream parlours.
- CATHEDRAL SAINTE-RÉPARATE (Place Rossetti) Built in
the 17th century in honour of the young martyr Saint Réparate,
patron saint of Nice. The bell-tower dates back to the 18th century.
Note the elegance of the gateway and, inside, the high-altar and marble
choir stall balustrade.
- PALAIS de JUSTICE (Place du Palais) Law courts built in neo-classical
style at the end of the last century. The courthouse annex occupies
Caserne Rusca, former barracks accross the square. A pleasant pedestrian
area separates the two buildings.
- PALAIS de la PRÉFECTURE (Rue de la Préfecture);
Formerly the "Palais Royal", built at the begininng of the
17th century to accomodate the Governors and Princes of Savoy when they
came to stay in Nice. After Nice was reunified with the rest of France
in 1860, the building became the headquarters of the "Préfecture
des Alpes-Maritimes". Since the inauguration of the new administrative
centre to the west of Nice, it has been home to the President of the
General Council and the Prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes. At n° 18
rue de la Préfecture, there is a very fine house dating back
to the 16th century.
- OPERA (Rue Saint-François de Paule) Today's Opera House
was built on the site of the former municipal theatre, destroyed by
fire in 1881. Inaugurated in 1885, it is a typical example of Second
Empire architecture.
- COURS SALEYA Every morning (except Mondays which are reserved
for the antiques market) you will find the fruit and vegetable market
and, throughout the day, the famous flower market. The numerous restaurants
and boutiques add an extra touch of liveliness.
- HÔTEL de VILLE (TOWN HALL) (5 Rue de l'Hôtel de
Ville) Built in 1730, this building was successively used as a diocesan
seminary, hospital and barracks. Since 1860, it has played host to the
City Hall.
- MAIRIE ANNEXE (Rue de la Terrasse) In this building, dating
back to 1730, there is a very fine interior staircase decorated with
elegant plasterstone. The city of Nice since acquired the building which
is used by various municipal services.
- MAISON d'ADAM et EVE (HOUSE of ADAM and EVE) (Rue de la Poissonnerie
- Angle Cours Saleya) The only remaining example of painted houses that
once brightened up the old town. Bas-reliefs executed in cameo tones
in 1584 adorn the facade.
- L'ÉGLISE SAINT-GIAUME (1 Rue de la Poissonnerie) Widely
known as the Church of Sainte Rita, patron saint of hopeless causes,
it was rebuilt in the 17th century and dedicated to Saint-Jacques ("Saint
Giaume" in niçois dialect).
- ANCIEN SÉNAT and CHAPELLE des PÉNITENTS ROUGES
(Rue Jules Gilly) In 1614, the "Sénat" was the equivalent
of today's Appeal Courts. Religious services took place in the adjoining
Chapelle du Saint Suaire which belonged to the red penitents, and where
the senators reserved galleries for their own private use.
- PONCHETTES Situated between the Cours Saleya and the sea, this
row of buildings features two vaulted 19th century rooms which have
been converted into art galleries.
- ÉGLISE SAINT-MARTIN SAINT-AUGUSTIN (Place Saint-Augustin)
One of the first parish churches, containing a very moving "Pietà"
attributed to Louis Bréa (15th century)
- PLACE SAINT-FRANÇOIS The north-eastern corner of this
square dates back to the 16th century. In the last century it was the
terminus for "courrieras"
- ANCIEN HÔTEL de VILLE (Place Saint-François) Formerly
the city-hall, this communal palace was built in the 16th century and
now accomodates the employment exchange.
- PLACE GARIBALDI Elegant 18th century square which was the first
extension of the old town towards the new
- ÉGLISE du GESÙ SAINT-JACQUES LE MAJEUR (rue Droite)
Built in the 17th century by the Fathers of the "Compagnie de Jésus",
this church is a remarkable example of baroque decoration.
- COLLINE du CHÂTEAU (CASTLE HILL) Only a few sections
of wall remain of the ancient castle: but from this flower-filled park
up on the hill, there is a unique view of Nice and the surrounding area,
an artificial waterfall, and the ruins of the former cathedral dating
back to the 11th century.
- TOUR BELLANDA (Parc du château, escalier Lesage) Built
in 1830 with its back to the castle hill, the Bellanda Tower is home
to Nice's Naval Museum.
Nice City
Centre
- ANGLICAN CHURCH (11, rue de la Buffa) The Anglican church
has been a part of the history of Nice since 1820, when the cemetery
first opened. The church itself was built in 1860, at the time Nice
became French, in the 19th-century Neogothic style. The interior is
particularly lovely (open all day, every day of the week).
- PLACE MASSÉNA The heart of the city! On the northern
side, elagant buildings in a rich red colour, to the East, a perspective
towards Tuscany style hillsides.
- JARDIN ALBERT 1ER Built over two seperate periods towards the
end of the last century when the river Paillon was covered over, these
public gardens now extend beyond Place Masséna. A vast area for
leisurely walks and relaxation, with a bandstand and concert arena.
On the central lawn an immense and audacious sculpture cannot go unnoticed:
"l'Arc" by Bernard Venet.
- PROMENADE des ANGLAIS To which Nice owes its fame and glory!
This superb sea-front boulevard, always decked with flowers, follows
the curve of the "Baie des Anges" and was originally a path
just two metres wide ! It was an Englishman, the Reverend Lewis Way,
who had it built at his own expense in 1820. The locals immediately
named it the "Chemin des Anglais" (Street of the English).
In its final form, two lanes of traffic separated by flower-beds and
palm-trees, the "Prom" was inaugurated in 1931 by the Duke
of Connaught (son of Queen Victoria)
- CROIX de MARBRE (Rue de France) Erected in 1568 to celebrate
the meeting between Pope Paul III, Charles V and François I.
Opposite the Cross, the "Return from Egypt" column commemorates
visits by Pope Pie VII.
- BASILIQUE NOTRE-DAME (Avenue J. Médecin) 1864-68. The
largest church in Nice is the oldest of the modern religious structures
erected in the heart of the new town after the Comté de Nice
became part of France (architecture : C. Lenormand). The side aisles
extend along the nave to form a deambulatory with radical chapels. Late
19th century stained-glass windows by C. Champigneulle. PARKS AND GARDENS

the Port
- PLACE ÎLE de BEAUTÉ Opening on to the port, this
square features a row of neo-classical houses on either side of the
harbour church.

A place of veneration for sea-farers who leave Nice with the blessing
of Notre-Dame du Port : a statue of the Virgin Mary stands obver the
porch.

the 4000 inhabitants of Nice who died during the Great War. On the flank
of the castle hill it is adorned by Alfred Janniot's high-reliefs.
IN NICE
- ÉGLISE RUSSE (Russian Church) (Boulevard du Tzarevitch)
Inaugurated in 1912, the cathédrale Saint Nicolas presents a
superb harmony of pink bricks, light grey marble and brightly coloured
ceramic. Crowned by six "onion-shaped" domes, it contains
superb treasures : icons, woodwork and frescoes.
- ÉGLISE et le MONASTÈRE FRANCISCAIN de CIMIEZ
Both the church and the monastery have been used by the Franciscan monks
since the 16th century. Inside, three masterpieces by Louis Bréa,
a primitive painter born in Nice, and a monumental altar-piece in carved
wood decorated with gold leaf. In the 16th century cloister, a display
of 17th century engravings. Open from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm and from 2.30
to 6.30 pm.
- PLACE du MONASTÈRE de CIMIEZ The cross is a copy of
the original, which dates back to 1477 and is kept in the church. It
stands 5.8 m high, carved with fine figures including the seraph seen
by Saint Francis of Assisi in a vision.
- CIMETIÈRE du MONASTÈRE de CIMIEZ Raoul Dufy,
Roger Martin du Gard and Henri Matisse are buried here : the different
tombstones are also a source of fascination for many a visitor.
- FORT du MONT ALBAN Built on a hill 222 m high, this massive
16th century fortress boasts bastions, watchtowers and exceptional panoramic
views stretching from Italy (Bordighera headland), Cap d'Ail, St-Jean
Cap Ferrat, and the Baie des Anges, to the Garoupe Beach on the Cap
d'Antibes
Some even say that on a fine day you can see as far
as Corsica!
- ÉGLISE SAINTE-JEANNE d'ARC
(11 rue Grammont) Remarkable modern construction of white-painted concrete
designed by the architect Jacques Droz. A 65 m bell tower comprised
of twisting flames, plus three raised domes and a ellipsoid porch form
a fine ensemble that is well worth the detour. This part of town plays
host each morning (except Mondays) to the picturesque market "Marché
de la Libération" (top of avenue Malausséna and boulevard
Joseph Garnier).
PARKS
AND GARDENS
In the City centre
JARDIN ALBERT 1ER
Nice's oldest garden comprises, together with the Esplanade du Paillon,
Square Leclerc and Promenade du Paillon, an oasis of greenery stretching
over 2km from the seafront towards the hills.
JARDINS SUSPENDUS du PAILLON
In the 6th century BC, the gardens of Babylone were a source of delight
for King Nabuchadnezzar! In Nice, the idea was taken up in the Corvesy
and Place Mozart gardens and for the 12,300 sq m of the Promenade du
Paillon. The lower part features azaleas, camelias and rhododendrons,
higher up, there are parasol pines and Phoenix palms overhanging Mexican,
tropical and Asiatic Gardens.
ESPLANADE du PAILLON ou ESPACE MASSÉNA
Fountains mingle with the play of light in this restful and flowery
esplanade between the Old Town and the centre. A magnificent perspective
: a forum, a central lake of 1,500 sq m and a gently undulating area
to the east comprise the main features.
CASTLE HILL PARK
The site of the original city, the Castle - in spite of its reputedly
impregnable citadel - was entirely demolished by the troops of French
King Louis XVI in 1706..
One can play at getting lost for pleasure in this maze of greenery,
where, in summer, one particularly appreciates the coolness of the fountain
and shrubs. Lift to the top of the hill : Tel. 33 (0)4 93 85 62 33.
