Légende
The Queen's Visit to Cimiez: the Monastery of Cimiez, 1895. 'Cimiez, which, has been chosen for the Queen's spring residence, is a charming but comparatively little-known suburb of Nice...the ancient monastery [was] built on the site of a Temple of Diana: this is one of the most charming views in the neighbourhood. In front of the church is a wide space, faced by three giant holm oaks, of a size and age not generally seen in these parts, and containing also a marble column, surmounted by a representation of the crucified seraph seen in a dream by St. Francis, the whole a marvellously perfect survival of fourteenth-century art. It is said to have occupied a position in the market-place of Nice until the Revolution of 1798, when it was thrown down, and the fragments restored and re-erected on their present site some time afterwards'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
