( Do not miss )
Every morning (except Monday, which is reserved for antique dealers), this spacious, sunny square is the scene of one of France's best fruit, flower and vegetable markets. The colourful stands overflow with locally grown produce, including flowers, olives, honey, tomatoes, aubergines, citrus fruits and herbes de Provence - the tastes, fragrances and colours of Provence and Italy are a veritable feast for the senses.
Arrive at dawn and you will find the Riviera's top chefs choosing their plats du jour from the tempting food displays. During the day, it is fun to watch the world go by from the pavement terraces of the countless bars and restaurants that line the famous market, or to try a light snack from the market stalls. Look out for pissaladière (onion tart with anchovy and olives), beignets de courgettes (frittered courgette flowers) or visit Madame Thérèse's stall for the best socca (traditional Niçoise chickpea pancake) in town. At night, cafés and restaurants come into their own, making this one of Nice's most animated nightspots.
