A bronze Victory, draped in the French flag, seems to soar above us. This, my friends, is the Monument du Bicentenaire de la Révolution Française. This monument, standing tall and proud, commemorates a pivotal moment in Nice’s history: its union with France. The Monument du Bicentenaire de la Révolution Française was inaugurated in 1896. It marked a century since the County of Nice became part of France during the tumultuous French Revolution. This wasn’t a conquest, though. The people of Nice, occupied by revolutionary troops in 1793, actually petitioned to join the French Republic! You can see the date etched on the monument. Look closer and you’ll notice another date: 1860. This marks the year Nice once again became French after a period under the House of Savoy. Interestingly, it was a peaceful transition, a result of negotiations between Napoleon III and Victor Emmanuel II. This monument, with its winged Victory swearing an oath of fidelity, is a testament to Nice’s unwavering loyalty to France. It is more than just a monument. It is a symbol of Nice’s complex history and its enduring bond with France.
