Château d'Azur stands at 44 Boulevard d'Italie, in La Rousse. It was completed around 1974. It has 20 levels, is Modernist in style and holds apartments. Its T-shaped plan has a main wing of 19 storeys on the Boulevard du Larvotto side – 13 on Boulevard d'Italie, so steep is the slope – and a north wing stepping down in terraces.
