The domes and ornate façade of Saint-Nicolas create a distinctive silhouette in the Nice landscape. A visit reveals a cathedral inspired by the churches of Moscow, with icons, frescoes and carved woodwork. Guided tours offer a more detailed exploration of the site. The cathedral remains a place of worship: entry is subject to respect for services and appropriate dress.
