Marché Aux Fleurs Cours Saleya - by Management
Description
The Marché Aux Fleurs Cours Saleya is a famous flower market but also sells fruits, vegetables, and local crafts products. Cours Saleya is the main pedestrian artery in the Vieux Nice and the flower market started operations in the late 19h century as one of the largest wholesale flowers markets in the world. It has expanded over time to include other products and has become extremely popular with tourists as well.
Access & Transport
The market is located along Cours Saleya, in the southern part of the Vieux Nice The 'Opéra - Vieille Ville' and 'Cathédrale - Vieille Ville' tram stops (Line 1) provide best access from the western side and the Garibaldi / Le Château stop (L2) from the North By car, Quai des États-Unis and Bd Jean Jaurès are the most effective access roads to the Vieux Nice
Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with a visit of the Cathedral and an exploration of the Vieux Nice neighbourhood. Castle Hill Park is also nearby.
Environmental & Social
