Chapelle Sainte-Thérèse
Chapelle Sainte-Thérèse stands at the Col des Quatre Chemins, where Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and La Trinité meet. It belongs to the area’s architectural landscape.
The twentieth-century chapel follows neo-Provençal design, with an entrance porch and a semi-circular apse at the rear. A quadrangular bell tower gives the building a firm, four-sided profile.
The chapel is deconsecrated and abandoned, while repeated vandalism has marked its exterior and ended its religious use. The exterior still shows its original architectural elements.
On the forecourt, a small shelter contains a portrait of André Masséna preparing to leave for the Italian campaign. That portrait connects the chapel with regional military history.
Together, the porch, rounded apse, and square bell tower make the chapel’s style easy to recognise. At this crossroads, the building remains a visible marker between Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and La Trinité.
