Find out 7 gift ideas to return as a souvenir of your stay in Nice. Allow yourself to be inspired by this suggestion list, which is not exhaustive but already very suggestive.

Socca Chips

Chickpea flour, olive oil, salt, pepper and sunflower oil at the end of cooking, these are the ingredients that make up the recipe for these large, fine, crispy and light blond chips. This savoury delicacy of the Niçoise gastronomy can be enjoyed as an aperitif, a convivial and greedy moment, conducive to culinary discoveries. Luc Salsedo has developed a Mediterranean product made from carefully selected raw materials, 100% natural origin and gluten-free.

Olive Oil from Nice

Olive oil is the emblem of the Mediterranean coastline, with its renowned olives from Nice! You will find olive oil everywhere in the shops of the city and more particularly in the Vieux-Nice, at Alziari or A l’Olivier. Ideal to flavour your dishes!

Lavender Bourses

Perfume your cupboards with lavender purses! These small, brightly colored bags will remind you of the good smells of the south and the fine weather of the French Riviera. La Grange de Mimi Cadeaux, in the Vieux-Nice, is full of these typical souvenirs of the region. click here to now more about Lavender Fields.

Herbs of Provence

Discover the flavours of Provençal cuisine thanks to the dried herbs, which you will easily find in any market, such as the one in Cours Saleya, just a few minutes from the the square Massena. They are so different that you will always feel like you are eating a different dish.
