Must-See: The Beautiful Cours Saleya Market In Nice

Nice is an incredibly beautiful French town; historic, charming and perched picturesquely on the French Riviera. It boasts excellent shops, lovely beaches, great restaurants and pretty streets as well as plenty to see and do. However, one of the best things that the city has to offer are the endless and specialised markets where you can get everything from antiques to fresh fish, just off the boat.

One of the best of these markets is the ever-changing market of Cours Saleya which sells food in the mornings, flowers all day and antiques on Mondays. If you want to spend your holiday wandering pretty historic streets, taking in the sea breeze and sampling fresh local delicacies, Nice is the perfect relaxing location. Just browse our wonderful vacation rentals in Nice or contact us at Easy Reserve, where our expert team is ready and available 24/7 to help you find the perfect rental.

A trip to Nice may be a bit away yet but if you have been browsing our incredible vacation rentals in Nice and are looking ahead to your next holiday in this stunning city on the French Riviera, then why not bring a little bit of it into your kitchen to help tide you over? The easiest way to recreate memories of a place, or to get a literal taste of what a visit may be like, is to make a typical dish of the region to enjoy at home in the comfort and safety of your kitchen. If you're talking about Nice, then one of the most obvious dishes of the city that first comes to mind is the somewhat controversial salade niçoise. A traditional French favourite that is now served all over the world, it is a dish that people have incredibly strong opinions on and are very passionate about, with traditionalists and innovators alike arguing about the exact ingredients that should be used and how exactly it should be prepared.

Salade niçoise, known as niçoise salad in English or la salada nissarda in the Niçard dialect of the Occitan language, is traditionally made of tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives, and anchovies or tuna and is then dressed with olive oil. Described as, "one of the best combinations of salad ingredients ever invented," by Delia Smith and, "the finest summer salad of all," by Gordon Ramsay, it dates back to at least the 19th century. The version known in Nice at this time was made up of just tomatoes, anchovies, and olive oil and, like so many of both France and Italy's most beloved dishes, comes from peasant food traditions, being described in the late 19th century as, "simple food for poor people".

There are lots of gorgeous destinations to choose from across our websites from the cultural hotspot and foodie heaven that is Tuscany, to the perfect coastal escape that is Istria, to the architectural and natural splendour of Catalonia, to the pretty villages and idyllic beaches of Crete, and beyond and each of these charming places has something rather special to offer travellers. However, there is something truly magical about Provence. Boasting an exceptionally varied, picturesque, sprawling, and wild landscape, Provence transforms endlessly as one roams and explores the region from its picture-perfect beaches and seaside resorts, to the towering and snow-capped peaks of the Alps, to the endless rolling fields of fragrant lavender, to the wild and majestic craggy valleys and gorges that cut through sections of the landscape, to the utterly idyllic and sleepy little villages sprinkled about the place. Often so lovely or wildly beautiful or both that it takes the breath away, this is a place to come for sun, fun, relaxation, great food and wine, adventure, and always, always, incredible surroundings. But the region’s charms themselves are not the only things that make Provence such an appealing holiday destination. If you have been considering a vacation in France and have been looking at this part of the world, then another major selling point are our villas in Provence. Aside from being a base from which to explore all that the region has to offer (which is considerable, unforgettable, and magical), there are some specific factors that make our vacation rentals in Provence truly the perfect place for your next getaway. Here are just five reasons to choose one of our villas in Provence...

Nice is home to lots and lots of truly beautiful buildings and wonderful architectural gems both in and around the city. There are plenty in the city itself and if you have found a vacation rental in Nice, you don’t have to go far to refresh your eyes and soul with manmade architectural wonders. However, if you fancy experiencing the “around” part of “in and around the city” and venturing a bit further afield then why not go exploring the French Riviera and take a trip to the stunning Villa et Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild, which really does make for a perfectly dreamy daytrip destination.

Home to a rich fine and decorative arts collection located inside a Belle Époque Italian-style palazzo and an incredible surrounding park that boasts nine distinct gardens, this gem on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is a truly magical place. It was built by the heiress Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild at the beginning of the twentieth century over the course of seven years during which ten different architects were hired and fired in turn, the whole thing eventually came together in perfection and served as her residence and party villa until the 1930s. In her will, it was bequeathed to the Institute de France for use as a fine art museum and today displays over 5,000; from fine furniture to paintings and statuary to porcelain dinnerware.

Nice is a stunning seaside gem of a city on the French Riviera that boasts endless things to see and do. It is steeped in history and culture, has picture-perfect strands for days at the beach, offers a vibrant foodie scene, has a charming old town where there is an excellent daily market, boasts plenty of museums and attractions, has hot and sunny summers, and much more besides. A villa in Provence-alpes-côte D'azur or a vacation rental in Nice, in particular, is certain to ensure an excellent holiday full of relaxation, gorgeous surroundings, and joyous memories.

The many famous charms and the relaxing allure of the slow pace of life in Nice are such, however, that it can be easy to miss out on the many attractions that one can discover in the city. If you're the type to keep active, you like to pencil lots of things into your itinerary while travelling, or you're looking for a few nice outings to enjoy during your stay in the city, then we suggest a visit to the Parc Phoenix while you are in town. This wonderful garden is packed with beautiful blooms, vibrant exotic birds, and stunning features and is just the thing for kids, families, those fond of gardens, anyone interested in photography and capturing pretty places, and both those looking for an active day out or a relaxing excursion. Whether you're darting around the grounds in excitement at all there is to see or just going for a relaxed stroll in an especially lovely setting, this stunning little corner of the world is just the thing.

France has inspired endless novels, books, movies, shows, songs and works of art. It is hard to imagine what our world would look like without it and it isn't hard at all to understand why so many fall so deeply in love with the country. It has been home (whether than be temporary or permanent) to many of the most brilliant and creative people in the world and, as a result, endless pages and amounts of ink have been dedicated to its charms and beauty. If you need any more convincing to book that vacation rental in France and visit, here are some more of the quotes that will make you want to pack your bags and leave for the land of bread and art today.

The South of France

Like, Paris, the South of France attracted (and continues to attract) many for a different pace of life and a new perspective on things.
