Bishop of Grasse

The former French Catholic diocese of Grasse was founded in the 4th or 5th century as the diocese of Antibes. The bishopric moved from Antibes to Grasse in 1244. It remained at Grasse Cathedral until the French Revolution. It was suppressed by the Concordat of 1801, its territory passing to the diocese of Nice.

The first known Bishop of Antibes is Armentarius who attended the Council of Vaison in 442; Louis Duchesne considered it possible that the Remigius, who signed at the Council of Nîmes in 396 and in 417 received a letter from Pope Zosimus, may have been Bishop of Antibes before Armentarius.

The arrondissement of Grasse was separated from the diocese of Fréjus in 1886, and given to the bishopric of Nice which since unites the three former Dioceses of Nice, Grasse and Vence.
