The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Laghet

Tucked away in Nice's rolling hinterland, deep in the lush, green hills, the sanctuary of Our Lady of Laghet (Notre-Dame de Laghet) in La Trinité reflects all the richness of the 17th-century Baroque style. First, you can admire its pretty ochre façade dotted with arches and attractive sky blue louvred shutters, beneath a charming bell tower with a dome. Its chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is surrounded by a cloister with immaculate walls beneath rib vaults. Flooded with light, the building offers a peaceful setting for pilgrims or visitors who go to meditate there. In the chapel, take time to admire the ex-votos, wonderful pictures painted in the techniques of naive art and depicting the pilgrims saved by the Virgin, as well as scenes of daily life in the 18th century.

About twenty minutes' drive away, you will reach the city of Nice with its architectural gems and relaxing places for a swim.
