Cimiez Monastery: peace, beauty and contemplation
Cimiez Monastery, with the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and the Franciscan Museum, is worth a visit. The monastery looks really nice on the inside. When we went it was rather quiet, so a good opportunity to stay in peace for a bit and relax after a tiring morning of exploring Nice.
The garden of the Monastery, with its rose garden and Mediterranean plants, is beautiful with a view that embraces a large part of the city, all the way to the sea. Henri Matisse, Roger Martin du Gard and Raoul Dufy are buried in the adjacent cemetery.
The Monastery is without doubt the most emblematic site in Cimiez and we really enjoyed our time there.
