Église Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours

This reinforced concrete church features a distinctive domed roof with a yellow ochre facade decorated with stylized sgraffito motifs that ornament the cornices, creating a notable visual impact in the neighborhood landscape.

Built in 1927 by architect Jules Febvre, this construction represents the evolution of religious art during the first half of the twentieth century and the integration of modern styles into sacred architecture.

The building reflects the adaptation of ancient decorative art to contemporary construction contexts, particularly through the use of sgraffito technique which involves scratching white plaster over a colored background to create contrasting patterns.

Located at 35 boulevard du Mont-Boron, the church regularly organizes masses and religious events, with schedules available on the official Diocese of Nice website for visitors wishing to participate in services.

The 2023 restoration preserved the rare regional sgraffito decorative motifs, using KEIM finishing products to maintain the architectural authenticity of this singular work that serves as a local architectural landmark.
