This traditional French outdoor market specializes in quality produce harvested by local farmers.
Reviewed By ZahidMalti - London, United Kingdom
Long established traditional market with a good selection of fruit, vegetables, cheese, fish and more including ready to eat snacks. Vibrant in the morning especially in the high season and short distance from both old town, Rue Antibes and small shopping lanes. Worth adding to your list of Cannes experiences.

The home of Auguste Escoffier is a now a museum with several exhibits on this famous French cook, considered by many the father of modern culinary art. The Museum is closed until 21 December 2018 inclusive. We will welcome you from 22 December 2018 : from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, every day.

This is a definite must place to visit for gourmets! The well-designed and well-run museum in the house where Escoffier was born is now run by the city. The 6 euros entry fee even included a Peach Melba dessert and coffee on our visit! The precious collection of menus and the well preserved period cooking utensils are enlightening: one comes away with a better understanding of how French cuisine was born and its historical influence on the New York dining scene.

This Russian cathedral was built in the early 20th century in honor of the son of Aleksandr II tsarevich Nicolai, who died in Nice after failing to recover from tuberculosis.

Not withstanding the religious aspect of the building. It is a wonderful example of Russian Orthodox Church Architecture and a gem to visit . It is located in the centre of Nice and is easily located. I would strongly recommend you put it on your itinerary.
4. Villa Kerylos
Overall Ratings

Discover this Cote d'Azur seaside Palazzo, luxurious reconstitution of an Ancient Greek Villa. At the edge of the sea, facing the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, the Villa is a magic place that takes you back in time. Entirely furnished and decorated, the Villa's many rooms bear witness to the art of living and refinement of Ancient Greece. The Villa is also a place for wedding and receptions organization.

Villa Kerylos is an amazing place on the Cote D'Azur, situated on Beaulieu sur Mer , that is worth it to pay a visit. Built in 1900 by french archaeologist Theodore Reinach and his wife Fanny Kann , of the Ephrussi family. They wanted to recreate the atmosphere of a luxurios greek villa in a new building and they succeeded ! This beautiful villa inspired Baroness Beatrice de Rothschild to built Villa Ephrussi de Rotschild at nearby Cap Ferrat vhich i visited an year ago (see my review about it) .

If you are an admirer of Renoir or just an art lover, it is fascinating to visit this house situated in a lovely garden overlooking Cagnes sur Mer. Fascinating to see what this great painter surrounded himself with and to see what he painted - because he painted what he saw. A wonderful opportunity to explore further his life and his work. I really enjoyed this visit.
6. Musee National Fernand-Leger

Reviewed By SeaDreaming22 - Melbourne, Australia
A stunning collection of work by Fernand Léger - regarded as the forerunner of Pop Art. Entrance fee is only €5.50 and includes an audio guide - provides excellent information. The museum is stunning on the outside, covered in several huge mosaics, also by Lèger. Inside the space is bright and airy with high ceilings and lots of natural light. Everything is well laid out and easy to navigate. There are lots of benches and seating throughout the exhibition areas where you can sit down and look at the art while listening to the audio guide. The Museum is on the outskirts of Biot, hidden off one of the roads leading up to the village. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area.

Language immersion courses for adults.
Reviewed By OspreyBill
If you are looking for a language immersion experience this is the place to go to. I have not taken French since HS 45 years ago. The teachers, the program and the location made it so enjoyable. Something that could have been very stressful was actually wonderful. I cannot day enough great things about everyone there. If you want a truly fabulous experience this is the place.
9. Basilica St. Michel

"This place is temporarily closed."
Reviewed By BdatoIta
A must stop for anyone visiting Me ton, especially if you enjoy visiting churches. I stopped in to St. Michel Basilica as I was passing by on a self guided walking tour. The resin anting church bells beckoned me, so I went in. It was a Sunday morning and although I could not understand very well, the language of the service the opening hymn was a familiar tune. It was a blessing to visit; such a beautiful church!
10. Marc Chagall National Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,618 reviews
This museum has a large collection of works by Marc Chagall, the famous Russian-born painter and designer.
Reviewed By alajournal - Bratislava, Slovakia
Lucky artist to have a custom made house for his works - and even already during his lifetime! Especially with the wonderful Biblical Message cycle in mind! The Biblical Message was what I enjoyed viewing the most and it made me thinking of not so lucky Alfons Mucha, who had painted beautiful poetic monumental cycle Slav Epic and his paintings are "homeless" so far. I like the way the Biblical Message is presented in this museum. I extremely enjoyed viewing the documentary about Marc Chagall, not only because the documentary was well done, but was screened in a "theatre" room with comfortable chairs, with stained glass windows by Marc Chagall himself and there even was a harpsichord decorated by him there. In other rooms there were also his other paintings, sculptures, drawings and ceramics to be seen. Also an interesting mosaic in the yard to be admired through a glass wall. I highly recommend seeing this museum.
