Cemetery - Restoration


The Russian chapel is being restored!  The golden onion was repainted a year or so ago and now there's scaffolding up, as you see.  This beautiful chapel is the final resting place of Russian princes, even an archbishop I believe. It seems a Russian businessman is the generous benefactor who is saving this this piece of Menton history. Good for him.

La chapelle russe est en cours de restauration! L'oignon doré a été repeint un an ou deux auparavant et maintenant, comme vous voyez, il y a des échafaudages. Cette belle chapelle est le dernier lieu de repos des princes russes et même d'un archevêque, je crois. C'est un homme d'affaires russe, généreux bienfaiteur qui sauve ce morceau d'Histoire de Menton. Merci à  lui.
