Cimiez
Cimiez is a smart residential area packed with interesting attractions, including the Matisse Museum, a 16th-century Franciscan
church and monastery, a small museum and cloister devoted to St. Francis, and the cemetery where artists Henri Matisse and
Raoul Dufy are buried. The Roman site has been excavated, revealing the remains of an amphitheater and public baths. The attached
museum holds the treasures uncovered, and much more.
