The old city area and the new city area in Nice is separated, so the old city area that is built in the 17th and 18th century is kept intact and in good condition. The distinctive feature of the old area is the color. Most of the buildings are bright yellow. In the pure sunshine of Med, you can feel they are fresh and bold.

 

There is a busy morning market which can date from several hundreds years ago every day in the center square in the old area. Wednesdays and Saturdays are the days you can buy fresh flowers here. Fridays are the days you can buy fresh fruit. It becomes the market for stamps and old books. Beside, the pitchman will come here to sell many things such as the second-hand clothes, the ware, and the family appliances and so on when holidays.
