Markets & Shops: Monday mornings - Antiques on the Cours Saleya
  • Tip Rating:
  • On Mondays the regular flower, fruit and vegetable market in the Cours Saleya changes over to Antiques. Interesting obects d'art, art deco artefacts, generally old type things - you'll get the picture.

    Markets & Shops: The flower market, Cours Saleya
  • Tip Rating:
  • The heart of Nice beats in the Cours Saleya. The daily morning flower market offers much more than just cut flowers. Plants, cacti, fresh fruit, vegetables, delicatessen, bread, olives, socca, traditional glaced fruits, and on Mondays the flowers give way to antiques. Many tourists of course pass through here - you will hear a lot of English and Italian spoken - but also this is where the Nicios also like to come and do their daily shopping. The fruit is from heaven - sugar-sweet clementines from Corsica, figs and grapes from Provence, exotic Kaki-fruit, lychee, or simple apples bursting with flavour. If its a bit touristy don't assume everything is marked up for tourists - it is terrific value and little different from the supermarket - only better quality. You will also be introduced to the novelty of French pricing. For no discernable reason there will be wide differences in prices for the same fruit between different stalls. You will also discover the difference between the flavour of fruit picked a few days previously in Provence, and the flavour of fruit which has spent the last month chilled in a distribution warehouse waiting for delivery to your home supermarket. Lined with restaurants and brasseries, the Cours is a great place to sit with a beer or coffee and people watch. Terrific atmosphere that is so magnetic everyone passes through here just for the sheer buzz.

    WHICH OLIVE GOES WITH MY WINE

    Wow! One of the best memories of Nice is the old town market. Old town itself is another wow, but this is just about the market. Wake up early, walk from your hotel to the old town plaza and viola! Covered cart after cart of flowers, all kinds, make a rainbow right before your eyes. You can purchase just about any type of flower here and it does make your stay in a hotel much nicer with fresh flowers in the room. Beyond the flower carts, row after row of displays of fruits, vegetables, foods, and the fresh fish from the sea are being sold by colorful, barking vendors. What a treat of sight and sound! You simply must purchase those special olives to have with your cheese and bread with a good bottle of wine. The vendors are friendly, happy, and helpful. Please, visit this great location in Nice. It is more than nice, its wonderful.

  • The RUE de FRANCE pedestrian shopping street runs from the end of the Place Massena, roughly parallel to the seaside. Full of shops (including exclusive clothing boutiques), restaurants and caf?s with outdoor terraces, it is a great place to sit and watch the world go by, while you eat or drink.

    Markets & Shops: Markets
    We visited the markets near our hotel and they were great from flowers to spices and fruit and veg to glazed fruits. If you are in Nice it is something you should go and have a look at as there is a great feel to the markets and the buzz of people around you.
