Cathedrale Saint-Nicolas a Nice
Our first stop will be in front of the Saint Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral—Eglise Orthodoxe Saint Nicolas et Sainte Alexandra.

With its stunning Byzantine architecture and beautiful surrounding gardens, the cathedral offers a glimpse into the city’s rich history and its ties to the era of the Tsars.

This area is renowned not only for the monumental Winter Palace of Queen Victoria but also for the nearby ruins of the ancient Roman city of Cemenelum, dating back to the 1st century C.E. This archaeological site offers a fascinating glimpse into Nice’s history from the early days of our era, surrounded by picturesque olive gardens.
