Église Saint-Pierre d'Arène, Catholic church in Nice, France
Église Saint-Pierre d'Arène is a church building in Nice located on Rue de France, completed in 1938. Inside, six chapels line the space, with a reliquary section and stained glass windows that fill the interior with colored light.
The church was built beginning in 1914 to replace an earlier chapel established in 1762. Construction took about two decades and shaped the building that stands today.
The church hosts regular artist masses where creators from the region meet and share their work in a sacred space. These gatherings bring together people seeking both spiritual connection and artistic expression.
The church is easy to locate on Rue de France with straightforward access to the main interior spaces. Visitors should check ahead for opening times and special events, as schedules can vary depending on services or gatherings.
Since 2012, the church has operated a solidarity space that includes a restaurant, exhibition gallery, and small theater venue. This addition transforms the building into a gathering place that blends community support with cultural activities.
