Abbaye de Roseland

Abbaye de Roseland is located on Boulevard Napoleon III and combines stone columns originally from a Benedictine monastery in Toulouse with a former country house. The building is organized around an Italian garden planted with varied plant species.

The building was created around 1925 by antiques collector Édouard Lacarde, who incorporated stone elements from a disbanded Benedictine monastery. It was built upon an older country house that the Dalmassi family had owned since the 17th century.

The name Roseland likely comes from an extensive rose garden that was planted here as part of the grounds between 1923 and 1927. This garden became central to how people understood and experienced the place.

The site is conveniently located in central Nice and easily accessible on foot. The municipality manages the property, which means regular access and maintained conditions throughout the year.

In the early 1960s, one of the first festivals of the New Realism art movement took place here, bringing together artists like Arman and Yves Klein. The site briefly became a meeting point for the contemporary art scene.
