Après-Midi Recap
Jeanne Oliver, Nice – March 2024
We had a full house at Oscar Restaurant to hear Jeanne Oliver speak about Nice taken from her research writing Nice Uncovered: Walks Through the Secret Heart of a Historic City. She enlightened the SRO group of expats with a slide presentation and talk about the history of Nice, concentrating on the development of the city, first by the various visitors who made their mark, such as the British, the Russians and the Americans, and then from an architectural point of view, pointing out special Belle Epoch and Art Deco buildings of note. We’ve walked past them dozens of times, but maybe never thought much of them, except that they were beautiful. Now we had a chance to see them from a different light.
One of the Art Deco buildings, located on Avenue Victor Hugo, the Palais Les Mimosas built in 1938. It just happened to be the building in which is located an apartment on which one of our clients had made an offer just two days earlier, and had been accepted. He and his wife grinned ear-to-ear to discover its importance in the history of the city.
Even if you couldn’t attend, you don’t have to miss it. The entire session (1 hour 30 minutes) was recorded as it always is and you can enjoy it for yourself. Click here to watch the event.
