It's done. Since December 18, in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes), public roads and places previously without names now have one. Commemorative plaques will also be hung.

Each name and each plaque was chosen to “ pay a public tribute to people [qui] have marked local or national history,” we can read in the deliberation of the City’s municipal council. The details.

Scouting in the spotlight, Saint-Michel area park

Nine unnamed public spaces were named by deliberation in the municipal council.

At the crossroads of Molière and Théodore-de-Banville streets, the square located opposite the Claude Pompidou foundation now bears the name of Bernadette-Chiracformer First Lady. Just another woman, Olave-Baden Powellgave his name to a space provided for the meeting place of scouts and guides in the park of the Saint-Michel area. The place will bear no name and that of her husband, Robert-Baden Powellfounder of scouting and guiding.

The people of Nice will also be able to find a space Shimon-Peresnamed after the former Israeli prime minister and then head of state, near Yitzhak Rabin Square.

A name for the future Square de la Madeleine

Courtyards will borrow the names of Dédé Truquiin front of the Lympia cultural space, or the theater historian Georges-Forestier. No place could be more suitable than the national theater of Nice to bear his name.

Add to this two squares: the square Albert-Tadlewskiat the corner of Jean-Médecin and Dubouchage, and the square Jérémie Boulonwhich will be created in 2025 at 16, boulevard de la Madeleine.

A 100% female neighborhood

The Joia Méridia district, currently under construction in the Var plain, will dedicate its squares and streets to many women. Besides the place of free womenopposite the Méridia tram station, there is Place Maryse-Condé, Rue Francine-Leca, Claude-Kogan, Louise-Colet, Berthe-Morisot, Colette-Pont-Dreyfus, Victoria-Fer and Muriel- Marland Militello.

The former resistance fighter Colette-Pont-Dreyfus will also have its commemorative place at 22, rue de France, right next to that of Jean-Moulin.

Other plaques are expected, like that of the rocker Dick-Riverson the facade of the municipal gallery Lou Babazouk, rue de la Loge, of the arbitrator Michel-Kitabdjianat the Jean-Nicolaï stadium, but alsoAntoine-Revoul. This will be installed at the Carabacel crossroads, where the resistance fighter led his last fight during the Battle of Nice on August 28, 1944.

Rares modifications

The only difference: the replacement of three already existing names: the Anatole-de-Monzie amphitheater, renamed Albert-Camus, the Meyerbeer passage, which becomes the Charles Gotlieb passage, or even the Roquebillière street, which becomes the Cathy-Richeux street between Scaliéro and République streets.
