Markets a few questions???

Hi all,

We will be staying in the old town, does the flower market sell bags, jewellery etc or is it just flowers. Also what days are the other markets on and what do they sell. Is the flower market on every day? Sorry to ask so many questions, but us women love the markets.

Thanks Hannah

there are a variety of fruit veg flower and fish markets in Nice and in the wider area. They are on every day but Monday when sometimes a flea market takes place instead .

In the summer and in the run up to xmas here are often craft markets at night in the flower market/provencal market areas selling hand made items, leatherwork jewellery etc

Markets which sell a variety of cheaper goods-like bags clothes shoes etc -the biggest is in ventimiglia just over the border in italy on a friday morning whch is an easy trip by train.

there is also a good sized one in Antibes on a Thursday morning

There are others around of varying sizes

This must sound daft but does every day include Sundays - and what sort of time is it open (dont do early!)

|||

yes, they the fruit veg and flower markets are one every morning including sunday -they are only off on monday morning

they are on from till 12 ish

ventimiglia market is on most of the day till mid to late afternoon but its better to go early

Hi HANNAHANTRIM,

We%26#39;re here in Nice now, enjoying everything about it. We arrived on Sunday, and the market at Cours Saleya (in the old town) was packed with flowers, food stuffs, and a ton of tourists. Monday there were no flowers or food items because it was an all day flea market...until it started raining a bit around 4:30PM at which point they packed up. Tuesday it was back to flowers and food. If you%26#39;re staying in the old town, you%26#39;re in the perfect location for every day shopping for bags, jewels, beautiful clothes, accessories, etc. Just wandering around is a joy. Make sure you find one of the 2 locations for Fenocchio%26#39;s ice cream: over 80 flavors! Have fun.

Thankyou 3sons, that was great information to get. Is there a flea market on anywhere else any other day as we will not be there on a Monday unfortunately. The Old Town looks lovely in the link. I cannot wait to go and visit Nice!!!!!

Thanks Hannah

Actually, what I called a flea market they call an antiques market. I heard that there is an actual flea market not in the Cours Saleya, but I didn%26#39;t get to visit that one. Your hotel will be able to tell you where it is. Happy shopping!

Thanks 3sons, have a lovely holiday.
