    A stunning baroque cathedral set on a lovely square in the old city. Many beautiful artworks and statues and a magnificent dome. Much lovelier than the more modern cathedral in the commercial centre of Nice and cettainly more calm and serene. A must-see in the old city

    The Cathedral of Nice was built during 17th century and was dedicated to a Christian martyr girl. The Saint Reparate is Nice and Florence patron Saint, and her relics rest in the altar of this Cathedral. We were lucky to witness a solemn orgue concert that enriched our experience.

    MUST SEE in Lyon. Beautiful mosaics on the walls based on Biblical and French historical events. One of the most beautiful cathedrals in France. Underneath is a multicultural church with statues of Marys from around the world and a modern mosaic by a French art student.

    Located in Old Nice, the Sainte-Réparate Cathedral is not to be missed. This baroque church houses a plethora of works of art. Go ahead and take a few moments of silence inside, where you will find chapels dedicated to the patron saint of Nice.

    Beautiful church. We randomly arrived a few minutes before the Sunday mass, while the choir was rehearsing. The priest leading the choir had a lovely voice and charisma and we decided to stay for the duration of the mass. A great and beautiful experience, from the music, tradition and overall look at the church. Highly recommended, even if only for a visit to the church itself.

    A striking presence within a small square, a cathedral, although not the largest church in Nice. An historic site for the church, with the current building "only" around 400 years old, in comparison to the original consecration of the site almost 1,000 years ago. The interior of the church is what feels fairly standard Roman Catholicism to me, of praising the Lord by spending an awful lot of money on the building and preaching piety to the people. Impressive architecture and art, but just not my sense in religion.

    Beautiful cathedral in old Town Nice. The lighting is very well thought out. There was light music playing that really added to the atmosphere as well. I stayed for a good 45 minutes and enjoyed the peacefulness.

    We were blessed to chance upon this beautiful cathedral, got in the procession that was so meaningful on Good Friday. Each of us carry a flower light to signify God’s sacrificial chapters up the apt slope in old Nice roads. Cathedral is very inviting and warm, aligns with the nice-ees who is so kind to show us how to unite with Jesus on the special day.

    Stunning little cathedral in the centre of Nice's old town. Free to visit and it appears a lot of the guided tours go here. The art inside is worth visiting alone, it's incredibly well preserved and feels almost as if it was painted last week! Flash photography isn't allowed, probably to better preserve the paintings. If you're taking your time it will still only take the maximum of an hour so it's a good thing to see if you're spending the day in the old town.

    An incredible venue. The wife and I visited just before Christmas and cathedral was steeped in lovely decor and had a wonderful nativity set. A beautiful place.

    Nice Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral located in the city of Nice in southern France. The cathedral is the seat of the Diocese of Nice. Can’t miss this beautiful cathedral while in the old town. The construction of the main part of the current cathedral's body started in 1650 and finished in 1685. The cathedral is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. Admire the beautiful ornamentation and friezes in the refreshing cool of the cathedral. On the outside, the shimmering colours on the dome have become one of Nice’s landmarks.

    Beautiful Christmas celebration and welcome Sad about the armed guards outside, but very poignant when currently in the Holy Land the Palestinian people are also being hemmed in by soldiers at this time

    Beautiful Baroque cathedral. Well worth a visit. The interior is spectacular! There is a guide leaflet for 1 euro in several languages which is very useful.

  • 5/5 niall_dougan 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing main body of the cathedral, although clock tower doesn't equal to it. How ever, the interior is amazing and definitely recommend going there.

    (Translated by Google) Superb baroque style cathedral in the center of old Nice. An emblematic place where I collect myself every time I come to Nice. Lots of wonders to discover around: Place Rossetti, Castle Hill, Cours Saleya and of course the Promenade des Anglais. A real and very beautiful change of scenery. (Original) Superbe cathédrale style baroque en plein centre du vieux Nice. Un lieu emblématique où je me recueille à chaque venue sur Nice. Plein de merveilles à découvrir autour : place Rossetti, la colline du Château, le cours Saleya et bien sûr la promenade des Anglais. Un vrai et très beau dépaysement.

  • 5/5 Heath R. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning, yet hiding amidst Old Town Nice. I liked the outside, but was not sure I had seen the true amazement that was told about. Then I walked in. I got it. I sensed it. The immense baroque style of the church had me wishing I could attend a service.

    Outstanding! We wandered in the cathedral randomly - and were blown away! The installations are numerous and incredible. The quality of the artwork is on par with the best museums in the world. Would totally go again. And the feel inside is truly awe-inspiring

  • 5/5 Gary H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Alain-Dominique D. 3 years ago on Google
    L'écrin spirituel, architectural, historique ....et catholique du vieux-Nice et probablement de la ville tout entière ...Sainte Réparate cathédrale éblouissante, riche de ses apparats baroques typiques et de son Histoire. Deux tableaux rappellent les supplices subis par la Sainte lors de son martyre, un autre représente sa décapitation. Sainte Réparate patronne et protectrice de Nice mérite bien ce bref hommage.

    (Translated by Google) Sainte Reparate Cathedral, served by T1, Cathedral stop, is located in old Nice, Place Rossetti, which is famous for its glaciers. But before cooling off, I strongly invite you to cross the entrance to the Cathedral. You will be surprised by its architectural and decorative beauty in Baroque style. I also invite you to acquire, for one euro, a documentation offering three routes: architectural, pictorial and figurative and symbolic. This document is very comprehensive and will provide you with many answers to your questions. In addition, in the heart of tumultuous, old Nice, it is a calm place, where one can recover, admire, contemplate, or even more, if the need arises ..., And a cool place l 'summer. So do not hesitate to enter this magnificent building. A must visit!

Je vous invite également, à acquérir, pour un euro, une documentation vous proposant trois parcours : architectural, pictural et figuratif et symbolique.

  • 5/5 Fraser K. 4 years ago on Google
    As an Evangelical Christian I sometimes find these momentous buildings to be too ornate given how little people who lived only a stone's throw away had to get by on. Nevertheless I am always drawn to them and marvel at the beauty and perfection of so many of these outstanding works of art that are special in themselves but have added meaning if you believe that people built these edifices out of devotion to God. I suspect ego played a part too but I prefer to focus upon faith. Explore this holy place from top to bottom and find your own gems The location is perfect in the heart of the Old Town and the square in front of it has a good number of restaurants. We ate at the Claire Fontaine where the Pizza was superb. We asked for a plate of chips / fries as not on the menu. Very big portion for €6. "Stick in til ye stick oot" as they say back home. I hope you enjoy the visit as much as we did. Fraser & Sandra, Isle of Cumbrae, Scotland.
