Old Nice Gourmet Food Tour: Markets, Socca & Local Wines

Weave through the sun-drenched labyrinth of the Vieux-Nice with a local food expert, tasting the flavours that make Niçoise cuisine one of France's most distinctive — from crispy socca to pissaladière, rosé, and hand-picked olive oils.

What to expect

Start at the vibrant Cours Saleya flower and food market, where your guide introduces you to farmers and fromagers by name. Drift through Baroque alleyways sampling chickpea socca hot off the griddle, olive-and-anchovy pissaladière, and the supple local rosé from the Bellet AOC. The tour ends at a traditional Niçoise trattoria-style table with a curated plate of the morning's finest finds — a vivid, edible portrait of the city.

Good to know

Cours Saleya market operates Tuesday–Sunday mornings; confirm your port day aligns. The walking distance is gentle — roughly 2 km total — and all stops are within 10 minutes of the port on foot or by taxi. Wear comfortable shoes on the cobblestones.
