The Résidence Fabrice Cayol is a housing project in Nice, France, developed by Habitat et Humanisme Alpes-Maritimes. It combines a family residence (pension de famille) with intergenerational housing, and has 38 apartments in total. 1
The building was formerly a retirement home for priests run by a community of sisters. It underwent major renovation between 2014 and 2017, and was converted into an intergenerational residence. 1 The residence opened in 2017, according to a report on its launch. 2
The current arrangement comprises 27 apartments in the family residence and 11 furnished apartments for older people who live independently but are isolated. The family residence serves single people with limited resources who face social isolation or have experienced repeated or unstable accommodation. Its apartments range from T1 units of 16–18 m² to T2 units of 28 m². 1
Located in Nice’s Valrose district near the university, the residence is close to shops, services and public transport. Shared spaces support social contact and activities; two professionals and Habitat et Humanisme volunteers provide a presence, listening support, individual assistance and group activities. The project also aims to connect with the surrounding neighbourhood through open workshops and social events, working with local institutional and nonprofit organisations. 1
The source page notes that in 2026 former student apartments were converted into family-residence units, with refurbishment rather than major construction work. 1
