St. Nicholas Cathedral is one of the most beautiful structures in the French Riviera. There are lots of icons inside.

Some of them are:

Our Lady of Korsoun
The Sacred Face of Jesus
The Apostle St. Peter
The Archangel St. Gabriel
St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker
Our Lady of Kazan
The Archangel St. Michael
The Icon of the Resurrection
St. Alexander Nevsky

The residence where the crowned prince, the son of Emperor Alexander II, Grand Duke Nicholas, became a commemorative chapel.

There was a smaller church before, but since on rue Longchamp in the mid 1800's, but because of the increase of the faithful, there was a need to build the Cathedral.

The Cathedral was inaugurated on Dec. 17, 1912 and is considered one of the most maginificent Russian Orthodox Cathedrals outside Russia.
