The best markets on the Côte d'Azur

Every morning, the Côte d’Azur rises with the sun, lulled by the environment of the markets. The sounds, colours, perfumes, everything on the authentic stalls reflects the South of France of which we are so proud. Discover these emblems of the Côte d’Azur heritage! Here is a selection of the best markets on the Côte d’Azur!

1. MARCHÉ DES HALLES IN MENTON
2. MARCHÉ DU COURS SALEYA IN NICE

1 – On the outskirts of the old town of Menton, facing the port, the flavours of the Côte d’Azur gather in all the small stands that create this market’s charm. Municipal halls, there are fresh products filled with colours, from fruit to charcuterie… Think about tasting the barbajuan and the pichade which are two Menton specialities!
Market days: Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 1 pm.

2 – The famous Cours Saleya market in Old Nice gets going at 6 am in a unique atmosphere. Local produce mingles with the flowers that blend in with the facades. The flower market is even listed as an exceptional market by the Conseil National des Arts Culinaires.
Market days: Tuesday to Sunday from 6 am to 1.30 pm (and until 5 pm for the flower market).
