Avenue des Français
Avenue des Français was a wide, palm-lined, seaside street in Beirut, Lebanon,〔Kassir, Debevoise, and Fisk. ''Beirut'', page 285〕 and now part of the pedestrian promenade, the Shoreline Walk.
==History==
Avenue des Français was created out of the widening of the former Rue Minet El Hosn during the period of the French Mandate of Syria and Lebanon as part of an urban renewal project planned for the capital.〔Kassir, Debevoise, and Fisk. ''Beirut'', page 285〕 It was Beirut's first seaside promenade.〔http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_6969/is_45/ai_n31481935/〕 The levee along the waterfront was enlarged with the wreckage from the old town and a retaining wall was erected from the ruins of a Byzantine basilica.〔Kassir, Debevoise, and Fisk. ''Beirut'', page 285〕 Due to its broad sidewalks, palm trees, and chic hotels, the avenue quickly became the favored esplanade for the prominent families of the city.〔Kassir, Debevoise, and Fisk. ''Beirut'', page 285〕 In 1925, postcards of Avenue des Français, comparing it to Promenade des Anglais in Nice, were printed to promote French tourism in the Levant.〔Kassir, Debevoise, and Fisk. ''Beirut'', page 279〕〔Poluha and Rosendahl. ''Contesting Good Governance: Crosscultural Perspectives on Representation, Accountability and Public Space'', page 252〕 In 1932,〔Dumper and Stanley. ''Cities of the Middle East and North Africa: a Historical Encyclopedia'', page 86〕 the legendary Hotel St. Georges was built on Avenue des Français, facing Saint George Bay. It was followed by the Hotel Normandy, adding to the prestige of the thoroughfare. One of the landmarks of the avenue, was Lucullus, a French restaurant that was situated between Hotel Normandy and the Hotel Bassoul. The restaurant was famous for its bouillabaisse on Fridays.〔http://www.lebanesewithoutfrontiers.org/article.php?IDhistoire=136&IDdelassrub=30&IDdelarub=1〕 The Bassoul family owned the building in which the restaurant was located. The building was sold in 1967 and later demolished to make way for the building of the Beirut Hilton.〔http://www.lebanesewithoutfrontiers.org/article.php?IDhistoire=136&IDdelassrub=30&IDdelarub=1〕 Avenue des Français was the origin of the seaside promenade, the Corniche Beirut, one of the most popular public spaces in Beirut.〔Poluha and Rosendahl.
