Old Town Nice Flower Market
The Flower Market (Le Marché aux fleurs) is a great place to enjoy the bright colors and subtle scents of freshly cut flowers. Located in the lively Cours Saleya square in the Old Town, the market started in 1897 as a meeting point between local producers and wholesale traders who distributed flowers by train across Europe. Sheltered by striped awnings, a large variety of fresh flowers and beautiful potted plants will please your eyes. You’ll find iconic deep-violet lavender and bright yellow mimosa, as well as colorful roses, geraniums, fuchsias, dahlias, exotic flowers, and many floral arrangements. Don’t hesitate to ask the florists to create a unique bouquet or give you precious advice on how to keep your plants healthy and beautiful.

Day Trip to Mougins, France
The ancient entrance to the town – Porte Sarrazin, sits close to the popular Museum of Classic Art Mougins, and houses surrounding tell stories of their former lives, when they were used as schools, city halls, and even prison cells. Avoid the tourist traps and venture to the Museum of Photography. This small museum/gallery is tucked away inside a quaint house on 3 levels offering great insight into photography of days gone by with concertina-style cameras, 35mm displays, black and white exhibitions, and more. For a lighter snack, lunch like a local on Mougin’s famed Pain Bagnat. Originally the preferred snack of fishermen and workers, the sandwich was popular due to its cheap ingredients. The bread remains the same, but the original filling of tuna and raw vegetables has been replaced with delicate blue lobster meat, hard-boiled egg, basil, green pepper, tomato, onion, olive oil, and seasoning.
