Cours Saleya Market

Cours Saleya Market is the sensory soul of Old Nice, a bustling open-air market that has been a local institution for centuries. Stretching along a broad pedestrian street, the market is a riot of color and fragrance, especially in the flower section where blooms from the French Riviera are displayed in dazzling arrays. Stalls overflow with seasonal fruits and vegetables, olives, cheeses, cured meats, and freshly baked fougasse. The market is divided into distinct zones: the flower market (mornings except Monday), the produce market, and a flea market on Monday. Vendors are passionate and happy to offer samples or explain their goods. The atmosphere is convivial, with the chatter of shoppers, the clink of glasses from nearby cafes, and the occasional street musician. Even if you're not buying, wandering the aisles is a feast for the senses. The market is also a great spot for people-watching, with a mix of locals doing their daily shopping and tourists soaking in the ambiance.
