Cours Saleya is Nice Old Town's signature market street, bringing flowers, food ingredients, and terrace restaurants into one space. The morning market and evening dining scene feel different, so it is worth passing through twice.

Market types and hours can vary by day of the week and season. Check the official tourism guide for the time you plan to visit.

Useful tips

  • Morning is best for market photos, while dinner is best for the terrace atmosphere.
  • Market offerings can vary by day, including Mondays, so check before visiting.
  • When planning, you may wonder whether to see the morning market or the evening terraces. Since the tourism board presents Cours Saleya as lively from morning to night, passing through twice on the same day gives you a different mood each time.
  • The tourism board notes that you can see the whole street from above the Les Ponchettes steps, so do not only walk through the crowded market; add a quick stop at the viewpoint above.

Frequently asked questions

Is the same market held on Mondays?

Nice Côte d'Azur official tourism notes that Cours Saleya is famous for its flower market, but on Mondays it turns into an antiques market. In summer, an evening craft market may also open, so check the official guide for your visit day and season.
