"All their lives they will be Niçois and all their life they will be able to come to Nice and we will receive them with great honor," Estrosi said.
Angelina Jolie checked into the city's Lenval hospital on Monday, June 30, to be kept under a "simple watch to reassure the well-being of the babies."
Jolie's obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told the press on July 2 that the Wanted star will give birth to her twins "in the weeks to come."
Jolie will remain in the French Riviera hospital, where four rooms overlooking the Mediterranean have been set aside for her, till the twins arrive.
"We are very happy for this choice of Mrs. Angelina Jolie and Mr. Brad Pitt and I want to say to them that I wish a lot of joy to them and the babies, and great success for all of their lives," the mayor said.
Jolie and Pitt, along with their four children - Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; Shiloh, 2 - are currently staying in a 1,000-acre, $70 million, 35 bedrooms estate in South France, which they have leased for three years.
