  • Wow! One of the best memories of Nice is the old town market. Old town itself is another wow, but this is just about the market. Wake up early, walk from your hotel to the old town plaza and viola! Covered cart after cart of flowers, all kinds, make a rainbow right before your eyes. You can purchase just about any type of flower here and it does make your stay in a hotel much nicer with fresh flowers in the room. Beyond the flower carts, row after row of displays of fruits, vegetables, foods, and the fresh fish from the sea are being sold by colorful, barking vendors. What a treat of sight and sound! You simply must purchase those special olives to have with your cheese and bread with a good bottle of wine. The vendors are friendly, happy, and helpful. Please, visit this great location in Nice. It is more than nice, its wonderful.

     I can almost smell the scent of the flowers in the market and taste the olives!

     So you think it's nice in Nice. I have the travel bug now, but think I'll only get to Santa Paula and Lone Pine, CA this year.

     No restaurant tips in Nice? My best meals in France were at the La Chaumiere Savoyard in Nice. Wonder if it still there? The Market tip was great, I had good Nicoise salades also. Doug

     That must be the same gorgeous panorama of olives I happened upon during my stay in Nice back in Sept'01. Heavenly stuff!
