- Nice - Gare du Sud
-
- The Gare
du Sud de Nice has been deteriorating in condition since it was
closed in 1991, when the tracks cut back to a new adjacent terminus.
Recent plans for the protected building involved its use as a
facade for a new town hall. Following protests this decision
is being reconsidered, with uses for the complete building being
reviewed. In February 2005, work was under way to protect the
existing structure, whilst the French Ministry deliberate. A
radical proposal had been submitted by local architect Mario
Basso for use as a gallery, exhibition centre. It would also
serve as a walkway from the new Nice Tramway, which passes the
front of the old station, to the current station.
