Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas de Nice

The St Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral, Nice (French: Cathédrale Orthodoxe Saint-Nicolas de Nice, Russian: Николаевский собор, Ницца) is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral located in the French city of Nice. Property of the Russian Federation, it is recognized as a national monument of France, and it currently belongs to the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate. It is the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe.

There is so much info about the place I humbly suggest to check out Wkipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Orthodo…

For a little clarity on Russian nobility mentioned here:
Nicolas II - last Czar and Emperor of Russia
Emperor Alexander II - Nicolas' Grandfather. Called "The Liberator" for emancipating Russian serfs. Killed during terrorist attack.
Tsarevich (Crown Prince) Nicolas - son of Alexander II, brother of Emperor Alexander III and uncle of Emperor Nicolas II
