Woody Allen and the observatory
The Nice observatory sits in the hill around the city. It was founded in 1879 and designed by Gustave Eiffel (yes, the one who did the Eiffel Tower) and the architect was Charles Garnier (who is also responsible for the Opera in Paris). The telescope was the largest in a privately funded observatory at the time and also placed at the highest altitude.
