Day 5

Full day private guided tour to St Paul de Vence

This lovely private  St. Paul de Vence tour  starts with a drive through the French Riviera. Your first stop on this guided tour will be the village of St. Paul de Vence, just a few miles from Nice, where you will enjoy exploring its ancient cobblestone lanes, fortified walls and art galleries. The picture-perfect views and plays on light here make it clear why so many impressionist painters came here for inspiration.

Suggested restaurant for lunch is the famous La Colombe D’Or.

 

Day 6:

Market Tour, Cooking Class and Lunch

Our day begins at 9.30am at the Cours Saleya market, while there is still a fresh morning breeze. The narrow maze of centuries-old streets that is the Vieux Nice opens up onto this splendid space lined with bars, cafés and fish restaurants on either side and market stalls down the center.

“Le tout Nice” converges on the terraces at lunch, but early in the day you will join the shoppers strolling through the market and admiring the vivid displays of seasonal produce, spices, candied fruit and flowers.

Though the bigger stalls are the most dazzling thanks to their array of colors, what really interests us is the small producers’ stalls. The fruit and vegetables are not as uniformly shaped and the variety not as great, but every ingredient we’ll find here is firmly rooted in the region and much of it is organic.
