Avenue Jean Médecin

The Avenue Jean Médecin is a street located in the center of Nice, one of the city's main north-south traffic arteries.

[5] It is walking on this road in July 1947 that the first nine notes of the international song C'est si bon come to mind of the composer Henri Betti.

[7] On it are the main shops of the city, both for local residents and for tourists, and the Nice headquarters of the larger French banks: the Credit Lyonnais building, built in 1890 and designed by Sebastien-Marcel Biasini, the BNP Paribas building built in 1921 and designed by Charles Dalmas,[8] and the famous branch of the Société Générale that was robbed by Albert Spaggiari in 1976.

[9] At the southern end of the avenue is Galeries Lafayette, located here since 1916,[10] in a building with a red ocher facade and arcades reminiscent of Turin.

They are a work of public art called L'amorse du bleu, by light artist Yann Kersalé, which was inaugurated on the occasion of the completion of the tramway.
