The Église Saint‑François‑de‑Paule, located near the Opéra de Nice, is a graceful Baroque church that reflects the city’s rich religious and artistic heritage. Built in the late 18th century by the Franciscan order, it was dedicated to Saint Francis of Paola, known for his humility and devotion. The façade, with its harmonious proportions and classical details, invites visitors into a serene interior adorned with frescoes, gilded altars, and elegant chapels. Despite its modest size, the church has long played a central role in the spiritual life of Nice, offering a quiet refuge amid the bustle of the city. Today, it continues to welcome worshippers and travelers alike, standing as a testament to faith, tradition, and the enduring beauty of Baroque architecture on the French Riviera.
