Nice is able to please its guests not only with restaurants, beaches and boutiques (fashionistas and women of fashion "flock" here from all over the world). They are encouraged to visit local outlets, including the Nice Flea Markets.
Flea market at Cours Saleya
It sells goods of fairly good quality and historical significance - tableware, tapestries, furniture, paintings, ornaments, in particular, brooches, crystals, leather goods, old photographs and postcards, vases, vintage clothing, silver cutlery sets, and old handmade canes.
The flea market is open on Mondays from 07:30 to 18:30; on other days, a flower market operates on Cours Saleya, where they sell wildflowers and greenhouse flowers, as well as exquisite compositions from famous florists (here you can breathe in the scent of a thousand flowers and buy your favorite bouquet)
Flea market Place Robilante
This flea market is open to the public on Tuesday-Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm. At Place Robilante, you can find both cute vintage knick-knacks and real rare objects.
Flea Market at Place Charles Felix
Here you can get linen tablecloths and napkins decorated with unique embroidery, clocks, perfumes, silver spoons, cake forks and spatulas, jam bowls, crystal, family monograms, Art Deco figurines, books, crocodile leather suitcases, hats, photo frames, medallions and other goods only on Mondays from early morning to 4 pm. It is worth noting that merchants are happy to tell their potential buyers about the items they have brought to the flea market.
Book market
Travelers are interested in the Book Market. It is located in Place du Palais de Justice and is open on the third and first Saturday of the month. Here everyone will be able to become the owner of rare and second-hand books: collectors will have a chance to acquire truly valuable publications, and ordinary readers - original books that can hardly be bought in any store.
On the same square, you should find the Old Postcard Market (opens on the last Saturdays of the month from 08:00 to 18:00) to get the opportunity to admire old postcards depicting Nice 50 or 100 years ago, as well as purchase original copies for the collection …
Shopping in Nice
Those wishing to get into the sales should take into account that in July-August they sell spring-summer collections in local stores, and in January-February - autumn-winter (discounts reach 70%; sales last 5 weeks).
The main shopping artery of the city is Avenue Jean Medecin: shopaholics will find here a perfumery supermarket, large shopping centers, a sports and a mid-price clothing store.
Leaving Nice, take with you several bottles of perfume, candied rose and violet petals, sachets filled with lavender or verbena petals, silk scarves, olive oil, handmade soap based on Provencal flowers and herbs.
