“A cemetery vandalized? Why would anyone do such a thing?” a voice whispered behind me. Standing here, at the Cimetière de l’Est in Nice, you might feel a sense of peace, but history, as they say, often has two sides. This cemetery, nestled in the hills north/northeast of Nice, is one of fourteen spread across the city. Unlike the grand Château cemetery with its ornate tombs and sweeping views, Cimetière de l’Est tells a quieter story. It’s a place where rows of headstones stand in silent tribute, marking the resting place of ordinary citizens who lived their lives in the shadow of Nice’s vibrant history. Yet, even this peaceful place has not been immune to the darker side of human nature. In 2017, a wave of vandalism swept through, leaving its mark on this tranquil space. The motives remain unclear, a stark reminder that peace and respect are fragile things, even in death. Now, as you wander through the shadowed alleys of Cimetière de l’Est, remember those who were laid to rest here. Their stories, though less celebrated, are no less important in the grand tapestry of Nice’s past.
