Marche de Noel, Nice, Cote d'Azur, France is an annual event which is focused around the main square in Nice centre and the Avenue Massena.
The Christmas market in Nice is really exceptional as the city has a knack of complementing it with a superb Christmas lights show which is both sophisticated, modern and very Christmassy. The ambiance is very special and there is also the big wheel and outdoor skating rink which are both popular.
The Christmas stalls are interesting with lots of very French produce, both regional and also from the mountain areas of France. Naturally there is plenty of lovely food and drink around.
For Christmas shopping Nice is very good, there are the likes of Gallery Lafyette and a host of big name shops along Avenue Massena which this year has original Christmas gift shaped lights.
Nice at this time of year is often as crisp and cold as anywhere but the chances are you will be able to see the stars as well. There is also something rather nice about seeing decorated palm trees at Christmas time!
The Nice Christmas market closes at 20.00 in the evening. To view more photographs see our Marche de Noel in Nice facebook page.
