[Nice - London - Paris] Part 4: Nice, her church and castle

The most famous church in Nice is Cathédrale Orthodoxe Russe St-Nicolas à Nice. On that day, the public transportation was totally shut down due to the nationwide strike in France. It took me 2 hours to reach this church, but, I have to say -- it worths. The architecture is amazing!
