Église Notre Dame de l'Assomption d'Èze, Neoclassical church in Èze, France

The Église Notre Dame de l'Assomption d'Èze is a neoclassical church with an ochre facade, double Corinthian pilasters, and a round window. The interior contrasts with Baroque decorations and side chapels that structure the prayer space.

The church was rebuilt between 1764 and 1778 by the Italian architect Antoine Spinelli at the request of Duke Charles Emmanuel III of Savoy, replacing a previous structure that had fallen into ruin. Payment to the architect was settled on 7 December 1778, when the building was almost but not entirely finished. The prior Charles-François Fighiera had the church consecrated on 17 May 1779, after two bells named Marie-Madeleine and Laurence were blessed in 1777.

The side chapels display saint representations painted on prepared canvases and framed in stucco and false marble. This decoration reflects Enlightenment-era principles and shapes how the interior feels when you walk through it.

The building is easily reached from the village square and can often be explored during a walking tour of Èze. It helps to arrive in the morning when fewer visitors are present and the light illuminates the facade details clearly.

The church holds the grave of actor and comedian Francis Blanche (1921–1974), whose epitaph reads "Laissez-moi dormir, j'étais fait pour ça" ("Let me sleep, I was made for that"). The line was reportedly chosen by his family from one of his own jokes.
