Address

On Place du Gésu in the old town, near Rue Droite

A Jesuit church on a small square at the end of a narrow lane. The exterior is modest, but inside, gilding, frescoes and carvings fill the walls up to the ceiling. It is considered the start of Baroque in Nice. A few steps from the busy streets, it is far quieter. It is a working church, so keep to the quiet side during services.
