Nice in a day

Cours Saleya flower & food market

Market · Morning only

Monday it flips to antiques — every other morning it’s flowers and produce. Tastings are expected, not rude.

Socca at Chez Pipo

Lunch · Local institution

Chickpea-flour socca straight from the wood oven since 1923 — order two portions and a glass of rosé, eat it hot.

Castle Hill viewpoint

Viewpoint · Free

Colline du Château has the postcard curve of the Promenade — the waterfall side is shaded on hot afternoons.

Promenade des Anglais at golden hour

Evening · Golden hour

Grab a blue chair facing the bay — sunset lights the Baie des Anges pink. Dinner after at La Merenda (cash only, no phone — walk in at 19:00).
