Cimiez
In a residential area in the hills above the hustle and bustle
of the city, the grounds of Cimiez include a large park set amidst
olive groves, the Archaeology Museum, Matisse Museum and the
Franciscan Museum and Monastery. Also within the gardens, the Musée
National Message Biblique Marc-Chagall displays some 450 of the
artist's oils, drawings, pastels, lithographs, sculptures, and
ceramics. During a couple of weeks in August, Cimiez is the site of
the Nice Jazz Festival, with music being played every day until
midnight and performed on three stages, in the olive groves and the
Roman Amphitheatre. It is an hour's walk, or a short bus ride from
the town centre.
