Observatory of Nice

Yesterday I visited the observatory of Nice which nowadays is part of the institution Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, the combination of 7 astronomic sites in the region. It was finished in 1888, financed by the French banker Raphaël-Louis Bischoffsheim. By that time it possessed the world’s biggest lens. The gallery also shows the botanic assets since the 35 hectare big estate is mainly covered by a park. The last pictures show some photos of Nice taken later the same day.
