Victorine Studios

Originally built in 1921 in an attempt to create a Hollywood-style studio on the French Riviera,[1] the major figures behind the new venture were the producers Louis Nalpas and Serge Sandberg.

Initially constructed in the early glasshouse style, the facility was soon converted into a more modern electrified design.

Many technicians and actors fled south to avoid the Nazis, and found work in productions at the Victorine.

[4] For a while (2000–2017), they were managed by a private company and were renamed "Studios Riviera" but the city decided to repurchase them in November 2017 and restored their original name.

[5] On November 22, 2017, at the end of the public service delegation, the city of Nice took over the management of the studios23, which returned to their original name "les studios de la Victorine".
