Start your first day with a must-see tour of Old Nice. Lose yourself in its maze of winding streets, stumble across its lively little squares, admire its colourful facades and push open the doors of the shops selling local products and crafts. On the Cours Saleya, you will be intoxicated by the sweet smells of spices and flowers that waft through the alleys of this market, classified as one of the exceptional markets of France. Every day except Mondays.
Then take the time to visit the Palais Lascaris, its monumental baroque staircase decorated with frescoes and its luxuriously decorated state rooms. Classified as a Historic Monument, the museum is dedicated to art and music: prints, paintings, tapestries, furniture, objets d'art and musical instruments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Its main interest is to be the only civil baroque palace that can be visited in Nice.
On leaving this jewel of Nice's baroque, let yourself be tempted by an artisanal ice cream on the beautiful Place Rossetti. A real institution in Nice, the Fenocchio ice cream parlour will delight you with its refreshing creations to be enjoyed on the terrace or to take away. Do you dare to try one of its original flavours with southern tastes, such as thyme, rosemary or tomato basil? Chiche?
Finally, will you resist the call of the Big Blue? The colour of the water is irresistible and invites you to have lunch with your feet in the water, on the terrace of a beach restaurant.
You can also buy a piece of pissaladière, farçis, socca or pan-bagnat in Vieux-Nice and have a picnic on your towel, as the people of Nice do! Sea, sun and socca, the Nice credo to be experienced without delay!
On the Place du Palais de Justice, the book market takes place every Saturday. You will have the pleasure of leafing through old books, original works, rare editions, as well as old postcards.
On Mondays, the second-hand market takes place on the Cours from 7am to 6pm, except on the eve of public holidays.
Castle Hill
Now take a step up and visit the hill of the Château de Nice. The panorama is superb, the vegetation and the waterfall refreshing!
