Église Notre Dame de l'Assomption d'Èze

The church features an ochre facade with double Corinthian pilasters and an ox-eye window, contrasting with its decorated Baroque interior design.

The construction of the church, led by Italian architect Antoine Spinelli under Duke Charles Emmanuel III of Savoy, took place from 1764 to 1772.

The side chapels contain saint representations on prepared canvases, framed in stucco and false marble according to Enlightenment period principles.

Visitors can explore the church through guided tours of Èze village, with convenient access from the main square.

Comedian Francis Blanche rests in this church, with a personalized epitaph stating 'Let me sleep, I was made for this'.
