The National Theater of Nice on May 21, 2021 – Syspeo / Sipa
On Monday, Christian Estrosi presented the schedule for the next phases of the move planned for the two rooms of the National Theater in Nice, the current building of which should be demolished to allow an extension of the green belt. “Should be” yes, because Martine Bayard, the daughter of the architect of this building inaugurated in 1989 and who is opposed to its being razed, affirms that Christian Estrosi has promised “to study all the possibilities for avoid its destruction, ”she told 20 minutes.
A version that the municipality confirmed on Thursday at 20 minutes, specifying that it would be “proposed in the call for tenders, among other options, to integrate the building to extend the promenade du Paillon”.
“The establishment could change function”
“He told me that he would do a new study to modify the route and include the TNN on the continuity of the green belt, assures Martine Bayard. In this case, I even told him that I didn’t mind if the establishment changed functions. I remain open to proposals. “
Yes, but if the TNN stayed on its feet, what could the town hall do about it? A change of assignment could cost tens of millions of euros. Miscalculation. All the more so since one of the reasons mentioned by the mayor of Nice to justify “razing the TNN” was precisely the “enormous costs of the work to bring it up to standard”.
To be continued. A new meeting with the architect’s daughter would be scheduled for September.
