 Flower market by NiceLife
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. Leave a Comment Directions: Between Vieux Nice and the sea front at the foot of the Chateau

The Nice pedestrian zone, or "zone pietonne," is a hub of activity. This is the place if you need to load up on souvenirs. Street entertainers frequent this area. There are gourmet shops, clothing shops, news stands, bookstores and more

Many of the bars and restaurants lining the markets are worth a visit too! Leave a Comment Directions: about a 2 minute walk from the top end of the Promenade des Anglais (on the main beach). The Cours Saleya is parallel to the Promenade des Anglais.

Before arriving to the famous Flower Market, we came across a nice local market.
Goods sold in this market include pottery, everything that can be made with lavender, hand-made bags, hats, clothes and accessories, gift and fancy goods.
I don't know whether this market is a dayly market, we went there on a Saturday morning.
The atmosphere is obviously great, and the square where it is held (in front of the Palais de la Justice) is obviously colourful :-)

You cannot miss the Flower Market!
I loved it because it reflects the idea of the "traditional market" concept that I've always had in my mind.
Beside flowers you'll also find spices, essential oils, seeds and soap: so pitoresque!
Obviously flowers are colourful, but they simply complete the atmosphere, they are natuarally meant to be there: the sea is just a few meters away, buildings are painted with lively colours, air is filled with perfume of lavander...
What are you still waiting for? Address: Cours Saleya

SHOPPING
Great place to shop is CAP 2000 mall near the
Nice airport. There you can find different shops, restaurants and cafes. There's
also lots of free parking spaces. Leave a Comment
