Cours Saleya Market

Cours Saleya Market is Nice’s lively open-air marketplace, set just behind the Promenade des Anglais in the Old Town. Mornings bring the celebrated Marché aux Fleurs (flower market) alongside stalls of Provençal produce, cheeses, olives, and local specialties like socca. On Mondays, it transforms into a sprawling antiques and brocante market. The atmosphere is convivial, prices are reasonable, and cafés ring the square for easy breaks. Go for color and regional flavor rather than bargains; arrive early to avoid crowds and catch the freshest offerings. Closed afternoons and some Mondays for the flower market; check hours seasonally.
