The square in the town centre is dominated by a walled chateau on its north side.

  • Nice: Building a Public Water Company After 150 Years of Private Management
    Nice: building a public water company after 150 years of private management By Olivier Petitjean In March 2013, the councillors of Nice, the fifth largest city in France, and of the surrounding communes announced that the city’s water services would gradually shift towards public management. Despite heated debate in France on private water management as well as several emblematic remunicipalisations, at the time, this announcement from a municipality with a reputation for being economically conservative, came as a surprise to many. Executives from the private provider, Veolia, spoke publicly of a “cold shower”. The company (formerly Générale des Eaux) had been in charge of Nice’s water management since the city’s water system was set up in 1864! (Sanitation services, on the other hand, have always been under public management) In other words, Nice’s water had never been managed by the public. The most recent contract was signed in 1952 and had been renewed several times, with amendments. The new public company (régie) Eau d’Azur was officially created in June 2013. The coastal towns of Beaulieu, Cap d'Ail, Eze and Villefranche joined the company in September 2014, before Nice itself on 4 February 2015. The already existent public companies in the metropolitan area were integrated into Eau d’Azur on January 1st 2015. Now 33 of Nice’s 49 municipalities, i.e. roughly 80% of the population, depend on Eau d’Azur for their water supply. Upon closer inspection, the remunicipalisation of Nice should not have come as such a surprise. The city’s councillors had been conducting audits on the operation and performance of the water service for several years.
