Maeterlinck palate

There exists with Nice a Maeterlinck Palate located at the n°30 of the boulevard Maurice Maeterlinck 06300 (boulevard which was part of the Carnot boulevard until in 1950).

It is a field of 4 hectares and 300 meters in maritime frontage located on the Cape of Nice bought towards 1920 by a white Russian, the false count de Milléant, who wants to build there a rival of Monte Carlo under the name of Castellamare ; but the project falls through, shorted-circuit by the opening in 1928 of the Palais of the Mediterranean. Repurchased by Maurice Maeterlinck at the time of a sale to the Bidding S, the field became the villa Orlamonde . The writer completes work and its villa becomes a center society man where it organizes many festivals. During the Second world war, the writer lives with the the United States and the villa is given up, squat tee and is plundered. The writer dies in this villa in 1949 where his wife, Niçoise Renee Dahon (1893 - 1969) continues to reside.

Ashes of the writer and his wife rest in the Stèle of a platform located in the vicinity.

With died of Renee Dahon, the villa east is again left with the abandonment. The heir who does not have the means of maintaining the field associates with a Promoteur; he leaves a Copropriété there a score of apartments marketed as of 1983 under the name of Palais Maeterlinck.

Starting from 1987 the businessman Henry-Ferdinand Lavanchy repurchases little by little the apartments, builds the house Mélisande on a ground bordering and the field becomes a Palace (Hôtel 4 stars) which opens in 1990 by keeping the name of Maeterlinck Palate.

Downwards, the grids which prevented the access to the public were recently cut down and the municipality arranged a littoral Sentier but which does not go until Villefranche-sur-Mer like formerly.
