Nice - Fleurs Gambetta

The Origins of the Fleurs Gambetta District

The Fleurs Gambetta district is located between the seafront and the Matthis road, stretching from Boulevard François-Grosso in the west to Boulevard Gambetta in the east. It also includes the small residential area between Avenue des Baumettes and Boulevard François-Grosso. At the heart of the district, the elegant Avenue des Fleurs connects Boulevard Grosso to Boulevard Gambetta from west to east, extending the very chic Boulevard Victor-Hugo. The district was marked by the construction of prestigious hotels and palatial buildings with eclectic architecture from the late 19th century through the 1920s. Among the various styles of buildings lining Avenue des Fleurs, the modern residence Le Dana has preserved the facade and gateway of the former textile factory on which it was built. The northern part of the Gambetta district is bordered by the railway line leading to the nearby SNCF train station, which opened in 1865.
