This little russian-orthodoxe church, downtown Nice, was consecrated 1860. So the parish "St. Nicolas de Nice", that was founded here celebrated it´s 150th birthday in 2010. Having the strong support of the russian Tsar Nicholas II, the parish later built the great Cathedral Saint Nicolas, that got consecrated 1912. There is even another russina-ortodoxe chapel in nearby Antibes. Here is the website of the parish in french and russian language: acor-nice.com/spip/
