Villa des Oliviers

In 1838 it became the property of John Frédérik Schultze, consul of Sweden and Norway, and his wife Frances, who nicknamed it La Calorama (meaning "beautiful view" in Greek).

[1] Maxime Weygand, then the General Delegate in French Africa for Vichy France, stayed at the villa during a brief visit in Algiers in late 1940.

[1] It then became the Algiers residence of Alphonse Juin, who in November 1941 had succeeded Weygand as commander of the Vichy regime's military forces in North Africa.

[2]: 55  According to French ambassador Xavier Driencourt [tr], De Gaulle had deliberately chosen the site for its relative remoteness from the city of Algiers and its multiple factions at the time.

[4] The villa remained De Gaulle's residence in Algiers until his final departure on 18 August 1944, when he relocated to liberated France.
