Église Saint-François-de-Paule, Neoclassical church in Old Town, Nice, France
The church displays a rectangular nave with four side chapels and features large grey-toned paintings that reflect the Turin architectural influence.
Built between 1736 and 1775 by the Minimes brothers, the church transformed into a parish following the French Revolution in 1802.
The church interior contains paintings by local artist Hercule Trachel and exhibits the motto CHARITAS, representing the Minimes brotherhood dedication.
The church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 8:00 PM, with entrance at 9 Rue Saint-François de Paule.
The building combines late Baroque Piedmontese and Neoclassical styles, with a facade designed by Pietro Bonvicini featuring distinctive architectural elements.
