Here is the English translation, clear and professional:


Avenue Jean Médecin – History and Anecdotes

A journey through the history of Nice

REAL ESTATE AGENCY – Jean Médecin district
History of Avenue Jean Médecin and Boulevard Victor Hugo.

Avenue Jean Médecin has had several names over time:
It was successively called Avenue Saint-Barthélémy, Avenue du Prince Impérial, Avenue de la Gare in 1870, and Avenue de la Victoire in reference to the 1918 Armistice of the First World War. It finally became Avenue Jean Médecin in 1966.

The road was built over an old valley known as the Vallon Saint-Michel. Its extension includes the Pont Neuf, which helped define the city’s main axis and marked the desire to expand towards the right bank, the area known today as Old Nice.

Once lined with plane trees, the avenue features many beautiful buildings, including:


The Crédit Lyonnais building, constructed in 1882 by the architect Sébastien Biasini.



And the most iconic Haussmann-style building, designed by the architect Roch-Paul-Louis, which became famous after the audacious 1976 “heist of the century” carried out by Albert Spaggiari.
