Discover Nice on the French Riviera

Here you are spoilt for choice, whether it's for food, flowers, flavours or colours, there is something for everyone, every day and every hour!

The night-time craft market

A nightly summer craft market that animates the Cours Saleya from mid-May to mid-September. During the refreshing summer evenings, admire the jewellery, pottery and paintings made with passion by Nice's craftsmen. A great idea for a stroll before dinner!

Cours Saleya fruit, vegetable and fish market

The fruit and vegetable market takes place from Tuesday to Sunday from 6am to 1pm.

Liberation fruit and vegetable market

You will find fruit, vegetables, flowers, beautiful fish and some products from local producers: honey, cheese... Place du Général De Gaulle, every day except Monday.

Place du Palais market

This market is a delight for collectors and readers. But also artistic products and postcards. Place du Palais de Justice.

Opening hours: Winter 07:00-17:00 Summer 07:00-19:00 Saturday only

Flower market in Cours Saleya

It will be difficult to resist the multicoloured geraniums, the intense mauve fuchsias, the anemone-flowered dahlias and the bright impatiens offered by the nurserymen. If you allow yourself to stroll in front of these harmonious floral arrangements, it is a whiff of scents, a bouquet of colours, plants and exotic flowers that awaits you. This market is classified by the National Council of Culinary Arts as one of the exceptional markets in France!

See you every Sunday!

Fish market

The advantage of Nice is that it is located by the sea and this opens the field of possibilities in terms of culinary recipes based on fish: give free rein to your cooking talents and drop by to glean some good products: see you at Place Toja, every day except Monday!

La Socca

Recipe based on flour and chickpeas. Well, say like that ... it does not sell the dream but we assure you that it is very good !

The salade niçoise

Contrary to what many people think: no rice! Or potatoes. Why not? Because no cooked food, except eggs, should disturb this recipe. Afterwards, you can put whatever you want in it (or almost). Rumour has it that only authentic Nice people know which foods to add, or not, to their salad, so run to a restaurant in Nice and enjoy!

La Pissaladière

No, it's not a dandelion salad! It's a pie. On a pastry with a delicate scent of oregano and olive oil, spread a thin layer of onion fondue, anchovies and small black olives. All these ingredients can be found in local markets! No more excuses not to go for it !

The little stuffed niçois

Zucchini, eggplant, tomato, onion. This is not the latest recipe for the street corner kebab but the list of basic ingredients of "Lu Farcit Nissart" ("the little stuffed niçois" in niçois) that you stuff with egg, breadcrumbs, minced meat, grated cheese and, of course, olive oil. Decorate the whole with golden breadcrumbs and enjoy! Or if not, enjoy it in a restaurant, at least you won't have to do anything!

The zucchini flower fritters

Attention, this recipe requires male flowers and not female flowers! They give the fritters a subtle and delicate taste, to lick your fingers!

We leave you, on these good words, we will eat!
