The garden and monastery are perfect to get away from the more tourist areas of Nice. The garden is beautiful and has nice views. The monastery is small but still worth a visit. Plus who doesn’t love free!

A nice little break from the hustle and bustle of Nice. We had a morning to explore, so we took a bus up to walk around the Cimiez Monastery and gardens. Unfortunately we couldn't get into the church due to service, but the jardin was open and free. Lots of roses, some great views of Nice and up the Rives du Paillon. Would be great to come back and explore inside a little bit. Otherwise, worth the visit.

Very peaceful and relaxing monastery. You get the feeling not many tourists venture out here and a lot of locals pass through the park. The gardens are beautiful and well kept flower gardens. The church is magnificent.

Tranquil place to escape crowds in Nice. Had more or less a private stroll around the Monastery and gardens (in June!). In short: breezy, quiet, cultural, views, and free! Well worth if you’re visiting Nice.

This an old but beautifully kept place for anyone who seeks the peace of mind and internal monologue about life far away from the city chaos . The garden in may and summer is blooming with flowers and life and brings tranquility to the mind . Inside the Monastery you will find beautiful art of a man in paintings and fresques and wonderful mosaics in the windows . The smell of candles , brings the songs of the past and the silence to the heart , in which a human wonders about out place in the universe and the path we walk by .
