Frantsuzsky
Blvd. (Французский Бульвар)
This cobblestone boulevard is the most beautiful
street in Odessa.
The
street was originally named Malofountainskaya but
in 1902, to honor the visit of France's Nikoli the
Second, the street was renamed Frantsuzsky Blvd.
After
the Soviet Revolution the cottages and summer houses
of the wealthy Odessites were seized and the entire
area was converted into a large health resort with
numerous sanatoriums.
