Seek out Église Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc, the Nice church that breaks every rule of Provençal style. Spend a short visit studying its fortress-like exterior, then step into the spacious, quiet nave inside.
Full description
Église Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc is a church in the Nice neighbourhood that looks nothing like the pastel Provençal buildings around it. Reviewers describe an imposing, almost fortress-like exterior with a distinctive silhouette, and an interior that feels spacious and lovely once you step inside.
Entry is free and a typical visit takes around 15 minutes, so it fits easily between other stops. Visitors with limited mobility will find the walking effort low.
It appeals to travellers interested in unusual religious architecture rather than the more familiar Baroque churches of the old town, and its quiet atmosphere makes a good contrast to busier sights.

Reviews
A beautiful church with interesting architecture, building work was underway outside but the beauty of the church can still be seen. Inside the church is lovely. I would highly recommend a visit if in the area.
