Nice, 1792 – 1814.

The historic county of Nice took up more or less the same area as the present day Département Alpes-Maritimes and was originally part of Provence. It belonged continually to the house of Savoy since 1388 except for a short interruption between 1792 and 1814 in which it was occupied by the French.
