The
Fabron district is located in the western part of the city of Nice (between
Madeleine and Caucade), it starts from the seaside and climbs on the hills by
the Avenue de Fabron. Other accesses are by Lanterne avenue, Napoleon III
boulevard, Montreal boulevard, Corniche Fleurie avenue, Sainte Marguerite avenue,
Vallon Barla avenue.
This
area of Nice began to develop only from the 13th century with the
establishment of vineyards, then olive trees in the 15th century. The name of
Fabron comes from the term fabrones (blacksmiths), they were responsible the protection of the fortification walls (barri)
of the west side of Nice against the attacks of pirates. During the Revolution,
agricultural properties belonging to the patrician families (Lascaris de
Ventimille ...) are sold to local notables. And so in the nineteenth century,
the Fabron hill became the favorite area of wealthy families (Gastaud, Jaume,
Gambart, Verani, Sasserno ...) who establish their great villas.
Nowadays,
Fabron is a hilly residential area with many green areas (including the park Carol
de Roumanie), castles (Leliwa, Fabron, Barla), many villas and pretty properties,
even if the latter decades have seen many modern buildings and prestigious
residences, some with swimming pools and tennis courts (Roseland Abbey, Château
Sainte-Anne, Les Belles Terres ...).
Near
the highway and the Eco-Valley, the western area of Nice also benefits from the
presence of small shops, academic institutions (Faculty of Letters, IUT), a
museum of Naïve Art (Anatole Jakovsky), municipal archives (the Marble Palace
and its French garden), an abbey (former rose garden where the name of
Roseland) ... and the Nice International Airport.
