Palais Lascaris stands in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 17th century, 18th century). Adult admission costs 5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Tucked into a narrow street of Vieux-Nice, this 17th-century baroque palace still holds its original decor: frescoed ceilings, a grand staircase framed by arcaded galleries, Flemish tapestries. Built by the Lascaris-Vintimille family, it has housed since 2011 a collection of roughly 500 antique musical instruments, among the largest in France, largely bequeathed by a Nice collector in the early 20th century. A visit combines aristocratic apartments with a display of rare instruments such as viols, baroque guitars and a sackbut.
