Pont Magnan
Also known as: Pont Magnan, Magnan
Overview
A bridge in Nice named as a landmark on the way to the Var. On 17 May 1875 Marie hears songs «surtout du côté du pont Magnan et de la rue de France, ces braves Niçois retournent du festin du Var (tous les jours presque il y a de ces festins en mai) où ils ont dansé et chantent, sinon bien, du moins de bon cœur» (033.0016). On 13 June 1875, in a dialogue, someone says they are «Entre le pont Magnan et chez vous» (034.0220). The Magnan is the stream at the western edge of the town, toward the Var (inferred from the diary's phrase; not checked against a map in this pass).
