Cathedral of Saint Nicholas. Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas, Nice, France. (best seen in large)
The Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, funded by Tsar Nicholas II, is the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe. While recognized as a National Monument of France, it is today a property of the Russian state, after a ruling in 2011, by France's highest court, the Court of Cessation. Its congregation came under the jurisdiction of he Korsun diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. Source: Wikipedia. Nice was the last port of call in my Mediterranean cruise. Juxtaposed against the photo taken in Civitavecchia, where the journey began, this photo of the house of worship and the one of a yummy breakfast, bracketed the most memorable trip I have enjoyed.
