"The largest church in Nice is inspired by the Cathedrals of Paris and Angers. This neo-Gothic building stands in the heart of the city, on the very commercial avenue Jean Médecin.
The Notre Dame de l'Assomption basilica was built just after the county of Nice was annexed to France (between 1864 and 1879) in the desire to Frenchify and modernize the city. It impresses with its architectural details, its astonishing stained glass windows and its two towers, 31 meters high. Located in the center of the city, it offers a spectacular view to passers-by who can admire it during a shopping trip. The tram passes right in front and offers travelers an astonishing view. At night, it lights up to offer a magical and colorful light show.
In addition to daily services, sacraments and celebrations, it is also a place of meeting and culture. In fact, it is possible to go there to enjoy the recitals and concerts that are organized there throughout the year. It was consecrated in 1925 and elevated to the rank of Basilica by Pope Paul VI in 1978."
