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.

Saint-Paul de Vence (also called simply, Saint Paul) lies near Nice, between Cagnes-sur-Mer and Vence. St-Paul is a medieval village, and today it is a real mecca for artists, who have been coming here since 1920. Among others, Picasso, Dufy, Matisse, and Marc Chagall have stayed here and created their works. Chagall lived in St-Paul for 19 years and is buried in the local cemetery (on the right after entering the cemetery).
The village has also hosted world cinema stars, including Greta Garbo, Sophia Loren, and Catherine Deneuve. The artists usually spent the night in a hotel and restaurant called the Colombe d’Or, which is located in front of the walls of the old town. Apparently, the most famous of them paid for their stay in kind, leaving their works for the owner.
