Originally from Caesarea in Palestine, Reparate died in 250, at the age of 15, during the persecutions of the Roman emperor Decius.
According to the tradition first of all, one would have tried to burn it alive but it was saved by an opportune shower. She was then made to drink boiling pitch, but once again she survived. Eventually she was beheaded and her body placed in a boat, blooming with moss, roses, lilies and palms and guided by a dove which drifted down the Mediterranean. The boat thus reached the shores of Nice and was brought back to shore by angels, thus giving its name to the famous bay of Nice.
Around 1690, a notable Nice, Rostaing Raimbald, would have brought back from a trip to Florence in Italy relics of the saint which were buried in a chapel located at the site of the current Old Nice before being deposited in the cathedral. in 1690.
What is certain is that we have sought her worship in Nice since the 11th century, in a chapel which depended on the abbey of Saint-Pons (currently the Pasteur hospital) where she is implored to protect the populations. against plague and cholera.

We love this medieval village set in the hills above Cannes. With panoramic views overlooking the valley towards the mountains on one side and the sea on the other its a very special place.
We love to spend the day browsing the artist gallaries or grabbing some lunch. TIP: Parking is complicated in the summer so go early or consider taking a train to Cagnes-sur-Met and then Uber or Bus 400 up the hill.
