French and Gastronomy Course
Nice
Nice, home to the famous salade niçoise, is one of the great food capitals of France. Just take a walk through the Cours Saleya Market in old Nice and you’ll see why - Provençal fresh produce is among some of the best in the world! Look out for local specialities such as pissaladière (a delicious pie) and farcis niçois (stuffed vegetables).
