NICE SHOPPING

MY NICE SHOPS

Some shops are more inspiring than others because they have something special.
It can be the way the products are exposed, the personal service, or the originality of the items.
Here I recommend some nice and interesting shops in my opinion.

In this category I also include ice-cream shops, cafés and food counters.

Bouton d’or is a nice Yarn Shop with a great selection of knitting yarn and accessoiries in various qualities at good prices.

When the baby starts walking, she needs shoes. Les Pieds Sur Terre ( the feet on the ground) have shoes from size 17. They are so cute.

And the shop is really inspiring for children with very nice staff.

In the bar he serves danish beer of course, and wine and soft drinks.

Ony possible to pay with cash.

This is a family owned shop offering artisanal Italian ice-cream. They have a large choice and many variations of traditional tastes. The coffee ice-cream is delicious and also “Monte-Carlo”, a cappuccino ice-cream with a milder coffee taste.
Pistachio and hasselnut are also very nice.

Le Garibaldi glacier is situated at Place Garibaldi. Their creamy coconut ice-cream and an amazingly good blackcurrant sorbet are very nice. But the strawberry and dark chocolate are also recommended

Their home-made gaufres are possible to take away separately.

Finally, after almost 10 years of preparations, the Swedish home furnishing store could open the doors to the public in the Nice area in May 2022.

The Store is easy to access from Nice center with the tram line 3. If you come by car, there are 1700 parking places.

I love those food stores in France where you can buy ready-made “home made” food.
Fina Bocca is one of those places. Here they have the most delicious Nice specialties as “pissaladiere” (the Nice pizza based on onion) or “farcis nicois’ ‘ (stuffed vegetables) and Aioli ( a fish speciality based on Cod).

The founders of this concept want to offer good objects to an eco-responsible consumer looking for sustainable products as well in design as by the production. They chose objects that have been created by the rules of art, that have a personality and that are aging well and respect the environment.

This is a crazy place where you can find everything to spoil your dog or cat, like all kinds of collars, leashes, toys and mascots.
But why not offer your lady dog a pink dress or dress up your cat in a knitted cardigan, all with coordinated shoes.

An outlet for Nike sports products, clothes and shoes. If you are not looking for a specific model, you can make a good deal here. Prices are up to 40% of market price.

This candy shop was founded in 1820. The founder was attracted by the abundance of Mediterranean fruit productions.
