What in 1860 was officially described as "annexation" , became one hundred years later the "attachment" to be fifty years later, ie today, "the union". So it is celebrated throughout the county of Nice and in particular on the canton of three ridges.
It begins by the presentation of a book entitled "Vive la France" written by seven authors from different backgrounds. Des universitaires, une généalogiste, un homme de théâtre, tous passionnés par l'histoire de notre région, nous offrent leurs regards croisés sur les événements qui, il ya 150 ans, ont fait basculer le Comté de Nice dans le giron français.
It will be presented Thursday, June 3 at 18.30 in the marquee of the citadel of Villefranche, but also in other municipalities in the canton:
Monday, June 7, 2010 Beaulieu-sur-Mer 18:30 - Room pedagogical Beaulieu-sur-Mer - Boulevard Marinoni (in kindergarten)
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 18:30 in Eze - Salle des fêtes d'Eze - 6 Avenue exotic garden
Friday, June 11, 2010 at 18:30 in La Turbie - Municipal Hall La Turbie - Victory Avenue (near the municipal police)
Saturday, June 12 in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 18:30 - Mediatheque Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat - 16 avenue Jean Mermoz
Tuesday, June 15th in Cap d'Ail at 18:30 - Mediatheque Cap d'Ail - 104 Avenue on September 3
But what was surprising idea communication service of the mayor of Villefranche choose the table representing Franz Xaver Winterhalter Napoleon the small to celebrate this union! After taking power in a coup December 2, 1852, the elected president has become a dictator. That the authors are wary: Under Napoleon III, Baudelaire, Eugene Sue and will be prosecuted Flaubert, Renan will even be dismissed from his professorship at the Collège de France, and the press published under cover of censorship. It will take the disaster of Sedan to go see Victor Hugo. Why not put a portrait of Garibaldi instead of that of the Emperor? It is actually thanks to him that the County of Nice became a Republican.
