Palais Mary

In the early 20th century, the villas and buildings in Nice began to turn away from the city center, fully embracing the coastal line along the iconic Promenade des Anglais. This avenue serves as a significant testament to the successive architectural practices and technical advancements of the time, reflecting the city's tourist and urban policies. During the heyday of luxury ocean liners, the aesthetic of Palais Mary resonated with contemporary trends, characterized by its mosaic in the entrance garden, colorful naval-themed mosaics throughout the entryway, modest building height, and elegant railings, representing the last refinements of modernity before the war.
