About this tour
This session walks the Cours Saleya market and the stalls around it, from socca straight out of a wood oven to petits farcis and pan bagnat. It finishes with an olive oil tasting and a slice of tourte de blettes at a family shop nearby. It is a Nice morning shown market stall by market stall.
The guide opens with a sound check, then walks the market stop by stop, pointing out what to look for at each counter. Questions come in live, and a short list of the stalls follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone planning a Nice trip who wants to know what to order before arriving. It also suits viewers who already love Niçois food and want the details behind it.
