Visiting Nice through this avenue running along the Baie des Anges and its beaches for almost 7 km is obviously a must to do in Nice. This name dates back to the 18th century, during which many European aristocrats settled there as vacationers. Although all the nationalities crossed paths, the English were relatively numerous there. It is also said that the Prom was financed by one of them: the Reverend Lewis Way.
Today, the Promenade des Anglais is one of the most famous avenues in the world. Lined with palm trees and its legendary blue chairs, it goes from the Colline du Château to Nice airport, passing by luxurious hotels. A true postcard setting, it is now an emblematic meeting place for jogging, rollerblading and Segway enthusiasts!

In the heart of old Nice, the pedestrianised area of Cours Saleya is the place to come for the market.
Every morning, except on a Monday, you will find fruit, flower and vegetable stalls selling a vast array of local produce.
It has the very best of local and organic seasonal produce, fresh seafood (although the waters around Nice do not supply a lot of it), and plenty of locally produced olive oils and pistous. The very traditional Provençal 'pistou' is not to be confused with 'pesto'. Although they are similar, if you're cooking Niçois or Provençal style food then you will always be using 'pistou'.
On a Monday, instead of the usual food stalls, you will find an antiques market with all sorts of curiosities and old-fashioned items. You can certainly spend the morning rummaging here.
During the summer season, there is also an arts and crafts market every evening from 18:00, great for touristy gifts and souvenirs, such as glass earrings hand-made in Cannes and brightly coloured leather bags and purses hand-stitched in Nice. .
