(Thief WARNING) Church is beautiful HOWEVER, there is a man inside with long blonde hair and a red coat, selling the service of lighting candles.

We accidentally left a bag inside, when we came 2 minutes later to get it he claimed someone must have taken it and way sending us away. Luckily we had a tracker in the bag which forced us to check a room only he had access to with a key. We found our bag OPEN alongside lots of tourists items which he had...

I stopped by Église Saint‑Jacques‑le‑Majeur while wandering through Nice—right in the Old Town, it's a perfect little respite in the maze of streets. The interior struck me as intimate and gentle, with soft light filtering through the stained‑glass windows and wooden pews adding warmth. Despite being tucked amid busy alleys, inside feels calm and soothing—a lovely, quiet corner to pause and appreciate...

Hidden among the narrow streets of Old Nice, this Baroque-style church is close by Rossetti Square, in a little and very quiet Place du Jésus. The church has a very interesting history. It was built by Jesuits and thus is also known as the Èglise du Gesù. It is dedicated to one of the Twelve Apostles, James (Jacob) the Greater (Jaques le Majeur). I was astonished to see beautiful paintings and...

Située sur la rue Droite au cœur du Vieux Nice, l’Eglise Saint Jacques Le Majeur que l’on appelle couramment l’Eglise du Gesù est un imposant monument historique de style baroque dont la construction remonte au XVIIème siècle. Par sa façade bleutée, l’imposante Église Saint Jacques Le Majeur domine la petite place éponyme, l’une des plus discrètes du Vieux Nice. Initialement construite sous l’impulsion des jésuites, son architecture a inspiré la conception de la majorité autres églises baroques de la Côte d’Azur. Elle se compose d’une nef dont le tracé reprend les traits de celle que l’on trouve au cœur de l’église Gesù de Rome. Celle-ci est entourée de six chapelles, chacune honorant un être divin. A l’intérieur, de nombreuses fresques racontent la vie de Saint Jacques Le Majeur, l’un des douze apôtres de Jésus Christ. L’église est surplombée d’un clocher de 42 mètres de hauteur. Située en plein cœur de la vieille ville, elle est entourée de nombreux restaurants de cuisine traditionnelle qui régale les vacanciers mais surtout les niçois. Parmi eux, des institutions comme le restaurant du Gésu, Chez Theresa ou encore la table de la famille Acchiardo. L’Eglise du Gesù est classée Monument Historique en 1971.

Stumbled across this beautiful church while trying to find a supermarket. It's aptly located in Jesus's Street. Don't let's It's rather plain doors and humble exterior fool you. Once you walk inside the decorations are quite beautiful. There was only one person present while we were in there. A lovely Catholic Church worth dropping into as you walk the back streets of Nice in the Old Town.
