Seek out Chapelle Sainte-Croix, a hidden chapel at the foot of Castle Hill in Nice's Old Town. Peek inside when it opens and enjoy the calm of this overlooked corner.
Full description
Chapelle Sainte-Croix is a modest chapel on the edge of Vieux Nice, at the bottom of the park around Castle Hill, and it stays off most visitors' routes. It is closed on regular days and tends to open for special occasions such as heritage days, when reviewers describe a calm space and even a light installation inside.
Its appeal lies in the quiet setting rather than in size, and a visit takes about fifteen minutes. Free street parking on nearby Rue Sincaire is mentioned as a rare convenience in this part of town.
