saint paul's church monte carlo

It's truly beautiful.Once you actually find it, lots of steps so wear flats.The Prince and Princess were held in such high regard that everyday there are fresh flowers placed to mark their presence.Very serene.

Its a lovely church.. getting to it was a bit of a struggle.. lots of steps .. and then you have to work your way through the narrow streets to find it.. yet it really is worth finding.. even if you are not of the same persuasion I am sure you can find it very beautiful..

Being the final resting place of the Prince and his Princess, this church is held in high esteem and visited daily by a large number of tourists. Fresh flowers are laid in front of the crypts daily in honour and memory of the beloved departed souls.

St Paul's is a beautiful church with typical of the area architecture we heard the singing as we walked around to the front of the building and it blew it us away. It really is a fitting resting place of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace,A nice place to pay respects and view a piece of history.

The fitting resting place of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, St Paul's is a beautiful church. As others have described, it is not a large church, but do take the time to sit and admire the wonderful surroundings.

A lovely church with beautiful architecture. The grave sites for Princess Grace and Prince Rainier were very simple and classy. A nice place to pay respects and view a piece of history. Worth a stop.

The church is a beautiful building with a nice interior. It is well worth a visit, especially to view the crypts of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier.

It is though this small but elegant Cathedral was built with Grace Kelly in mind. It seems to reflect her in so many ways.Clearly a place were many significant moments in her life and death. It was a special moment in my trip to Monaco.

The resting place of the Prince and Grace Kelly. Well presented and great lighting. The pipe organ looks out of place!

Another one of the beautiful structures built of very light colored stone, effortlessly reaching to the sky to get closer to the source of those worshiped. Rebuilt in 1878, it is a recent addition to the religious houses of Europe. The moment we opend the door to the church we were greeted by the huge volumetric symphonic sounds of a brass ensemble preparing for Christmas. How lucky were we? The church was lit up like a candle, just beautiful. Personally, I did not like dusty, faded plastic flowers on the tombs, including Princess Grace Kelly's.

I like this church, Father Walter is very kind to offer the use of the facility to other churches with rental fee.

I cant believe there is such a peaceful and beautiful place among the casinos and busy every day life of Monte Carlo, kind of magical and like a fairytale knowing Grace Kelly is there.

This is a simple but elegant cathedral near the palais. This is the cathedral where Princess Grace and Prince Rainier married and where they are buried. One will be able to see their final resting place, which had fresh flowers and plenty of pictures of them. The cathedral also had some nice art (I believe a temporary exhibition) of St. John Paul II, which I enjoyed.

This cathedral is very different in style than the others we saw in France. There was an art exhibit on display in the church when we walked through, which took away from viewing the actual structure a little bit. It was interesting to see the memorials at the front of the church; typically tourists don't get to walk around this area. There is a new modern organ at the back of the church, that in my opinion, takes away from the historical nature and doesn't blend in very well. I'm glad we walked through, worth seeing!

In some ways, without being disrespectful as I believe this was the intent, the church by itself is nothing spectacular that separates itself from other great religious sites of Europe. Ornate from the exterior but pretty dark inside. As you enter the front to there is a sign marking the travel of direction (to the right) herding you around the exterior of the nave walking past the resting places of people important to Monaco. One being that of Princess Grace. I enjoyed the fact that even though the church was moderately busy we were able to get in and out in 10-15 minutes. Of course we could have stayed longer if we would have liked and it probably is a lot slower during the summer.
