There are many regions in France that claim to have their cuisine as the best going around in the country. However, there’s something mystical about Cote d’Azur and Provence that gives it an edge over others. The reason behind this could be the weather, as it is almost impossible to resist sitting outside a popular Provencal restaurant and not having the delicacies on offer there. Nice has quite a few local markets where shopping can be a real pleasure filled experience. Fine food lovers, for example, will certainly like Cours Saleya market in the city.
Nice offers a wonderful package for food lovers across the globe.
