Nice enough looking place but pity no opening hours mentioned. I travelled all the way here on a 2 day trip to Nice (30mins on bus) to discover the monastery is closed on Wednesday's... Waste of a morning... Nice gardens though which were open and free with some nice views. Also roman ruins nearby and other museums.

This an old but beautifully kept place for anyone who seeks the peace of mind and internal monologue about life far away from the city chaos . The garden in may and summer is blooming with flowers and life and brings tranquility to the mind . Inside the Monastery you will find beautiful art of a man in paintings and fresques and wonderful mosaics in the windows . The smell of candles , brings the songs of the past and the silence to the heart , in which a human wonders about out place in the universe and the path we walk by .

The monastery itself has a beautiful exterior, and the inside is incredibly ornate. I was the first one there around 8am and was surprised it was open. 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

Tranquil place to escape crowds in Nice. Had more or less a private stroll around the Monastery and gardens (in June!). In short: breezy, quiet, cultural, views, and free! Well worth if you’re visiting Nice.

Well preserved monastery in the northern Nice with nice views on Nice from the gardens. The church is open for visitors from 9am to 6pm, exept on Wednesdays, Sunday's ceremony and other christian holidays, though we could still enter on the Good Friday. Admission is free.

Nice walk from downtown city Nice to this quiet, relaxing environment. The views are beautiful, nice breeze on hot days and hardly any people around. Felt completely relaxed after visiting this place.

If you've walked up to Cimiez and enjoyed the Matisse Museum, add on another hour or so and stroll by the olive trees and past the roman ruins to visit the monastery gardens. This is a sublime spot - beautiful tranquil gardens with a great view over towards the Port. The church is atmospheric and often used for weddings and there's also a small museum. We often take a sandwich with us and after visiting the Matisse Museum we have lunch and a snooze under the trees.

Amazing place to visit .. beautiful garden with a wonderful Church next to it ..very quiet ..great to relax, meditate, read etc . Nice view one side of Nice

A historical monastery and a small cemetery behind with a stunning view.

Very beautiful outside and inside! Great garden and park close by! Place to relax, read, meditate and dream

Lovely building and beautiful, tranquil garden. Unfortunately no photos allowed inside the monastery church - pity as it has a magnificent painted ceiling. A walk around the gardens is a relief from the busy city

Only seeing outside. It’s located in the park. The garden nice though.

Not being immediately in the city of Nice, it takes a little bit of time to make the journey up to Cimiez. At a stretch, it is walkable, but public transport is probably the better option. With very little light inside, it's tough to see too much and also no photographs allowed. The paintwork looks like it could really do with some restoration, although if you can't see the detail, then I guess perhaps no-one is likely to bother. I wouldn't visit just for the church here, and actually didn't even notice there was a museum. However, a trip up here could be combined with the gardens, the Matisse Museum and the Archaeological Museum to justify the time spent travelling from Nice.

Having a cool view of Nice without having people messing around. Park nearby is calm and filled with street food stands aside a Roman arena and two art museums.

A huge cathedral and no photo inside

a beautiful temple with a beautiful garden around it.

2022.09.04 The Cimiez Monastry is in a very nice location overseeing the city of Nice. The garden is so lovely and the view is stunning.

Small and cozy monastery. Don’t expect greatness of big French gothic churches, but it’s located in nice area with great view

Monastery has very beautiful garden, where you can just rest, take a walk, see beautiful views and flowers, and it you are lucky you might see some cats around the property too

Beautiful city and the Monastery was so special. I definitely recommend and spend some time exploring the alcoves.

Lovely quiet place.

Very nice. Real old beauty. Three great paintings. Good view of Nice from a nice garden. Good memory of Francisc form Assizi.
