The Victorian cemetery built by the Anglican commuity in NICE FRANCE is now in peril! The graves are about to be dug up and replaced. Several beautiful examples of Victorian monuments- ostentatious vaults and plinths, massive anchors, urns, avenging angels and distraught weeping women will soon disappear unless we the international community declare this cemetery to be of heritage value. Please sign this petition !

The momentum is incredible. This is clear proof that people refuse to let history be erased.

My great aunt is buried in the Anglo cemetery. She spent her final years in Nice and deserves to rest in peace. Please do not let them destroy these graves.
