Luminiscence in Nice: Stunning Light Show at the Notre-Dame Cathedral

Immerse yourself in a world of light and sound with Luminiscence, the immersive show that enhances the Notre-Dame de Nice cathedral. Located just steps from the Hotel Lakmi, this cultural event is yet another reason to visit Nice this winter. Discover why Luminiscence is an unmissable experience and how to fully enjoy it while staying in our hotel ideally located in the heart of the city.

The fascinating history of the Notre-Dame de Nice cathedral

The Notre-Dame de l'Assomption Cathedral, often referred to as Notre-Dame de Nice, is a neo-Gothic masterpiece built in the 19th century. Inspired by the great French cathedrals, it stands out with its two slender towers, a facade adorned with rosettes, and magnificent stained glass windows. Inaugurated in 1868, it is the largest church in Nice and a symbolic site of the city's religious and cultural heritage. Located on Avenue Jean Médecin, it was designed to symbolize the radiance of Catholic faith in the region at a time when Nice had just been annexed to France (1860).

Today, the Notre-Dame Cathedral is much more than a place of worship: it is also a historical monument and a venue for cultural events like Luminiscence, which highlight its unique architecture and spiritual aura. A visit to this majestic building is a must to understand the history and charm of Nice.
