Cours Saleya is best approached without a checklist. Arrive with an appetite, move slowly between the striped awnings and let the colours of the market set the pace of the morning.
Begin early
The Old Town feels softer in the morning. Pause for coffee, look for seasonal fruit and flowers, and leave time to wander into the narrow streets that unfold behind the market.
Taste something Niçois
Socca—a thin chickpea pancake served hot—is the simplest local ritual. Pair it with a walk rather than a formal plan; the pleasure is in the atmosphere as much as the food.
Continue through Vieux Nice
From the market, follow the lanes toward small squares, baroque façades and independent shops. The sea is never far away, so the morning can naturally end on the Promenade.
