Happy anniversary !

The Agence Générale Bovis was founded in 1895 in Beaulieu-sur-Mer by Joseph Bovis, an architect to whom the town owes most of its public monuments, including the church and the famous Baie des Fourmis. In 1938, the agency was taken over by his son, Marcel Bovis, also an architect, who undertook many renovations and the construction of new properties in Beaulieu and on Cap Ferrat. Then, in 1978, grandson Christian Bovis took over the reins, an economist by training who developed the agency’s activity on the international scene before handing over its management to Jessica Bovis in 2010. The great-granddaughter of Joseph Bovis, this graduate with a Masters II in international law, a jurist and estate-agent, thus heads a renowned family business which celebrated its 120th anniversary last year, making it the oldest estate agency on the Côte d’Azur.
