Hi guys! ”On the go with EF” is back and so am I.
I’m in the beautiful city of Nice,
which is right on the French Riviera, not too far from the Italian border.
I’m very happy to be here and I can’t wait to take you around
and show you some of my favourite things to do.
Let’s go and explore!
Now, I’m in the Old Town, Vieux Nice.
It was built between the 14th and 18th centuries, and I think it’s a very charming place.
You have all these different facades in yellow and red and different colours.
You have all these cute little French balconies and windows that you can just open up in the morning
and say “Good morning, world!” I like it here.
The people who live here are called ”Niçoises”, just like the famous salad.
They have their own dialect, which is called ”Niçard”
All the street signs here in the Old Town are written in both French and Niçard.
Look! ”Rue de la Prefecture” and ”Carriera doú Goùvernou".
Just a couple of blocks from the beach,
there’s this market street called Cours Saleya and it’s really cool.
It has all this fruit, juices and different pastries and spices, and even handmade soap.
There are all the colours of the rainbow here. Savon de Marseille. Lavender!
Oh my god, this smells delicious. I could bite it. Maybe I shouldn’t, but I could.
This is adorable. They have the whole collection here. It smells so good.
They have a bunch of cool things here. Look, this is adorable.
Salt and pepper shakers in the shape of hugging people.
Guys, this is so fun. Look, they have all these cool, different salts.
I really like the rose one. Oh, it’s salty.
Yeah, I thought there would only be fruit,
but you can go for the whole dinner preparation here.
You can shop for meat, fish, olives, salad, vegetables, dessert,
and souvenirs for your guests. It’s very nice.
They have flowers, too.
This is nice. I wonder if they have peonies. I love peonies.
Oh, there they are! Ask and it shall be given to you.
My favourite flowers are peonies and tulips. They’re so fluffy. Look at them!
At least they are in this stage of my life right now. I think that might change.
Maybe once I get older, I’ll like something else, but right now, I love peonies and tulips.
This has been wonderful.
I think it is so charming and I love markets much more than actual shopping malls.
You guys have to come here. It’s a wonderful place.
I love being on the beach. It’s so nice and relaxing. The view is just amazing.
I had a wonderful day and I think this is the perfect way to finish a busy day at the market.
To come and enjoy the view and yourself.
As you can see, this is not a regular sand beach.
This is a stone beach. It’s a bit challenging to walk on it and balance, but that’s good.
You get a little exercise and
I think I’m going to need a little exercise for what I’m about to do.
I’m about to treat myself big time, guys.
Guess what I brought! A bunch of French pastries.
I couldn’t choose one, so I bought pretty much all the ones that looked good to me.
So, we have rum and vanilla custard, sponge cake, apple pie, flan, vanilla slice,
lemon tart, cream pastry, fruit tart, and chocolate lava cake.
I’m going to dig into the ”millefeuille” or Napoleon cake.
Oh my god. I’m going to come back to you, millefeuille.
I like the dough, but I don’t like the cream so much. I’m not a fan of lemons.
I think I will like this one, ”moelleux aux chocolat”.
Yeah.
I want the one with the raspberry.
I think this one will be nice because it’s a bit lighter than the other ones,
but let’s see if I’m right.
I’m right.
Le parisien. Mmmmm. This is really good.
Last, but not least. This is tarte aux pommes. This is a very famous French dessert, actually.
Mmmm. This is nice. The apples are so tender.
I can’t choose the best one. It really depends on what you’re in the mood for.
I think my favourite out of all of them,
for the mood I’m in now, is tarte aux pommes. I like that one the most now.
Today, at the Cours Saleya market, I bought this beautiful, 100% natural soap,
and I would love to send it to one of you.
We saw a lot of fruit today and I was wondering, what’s your favourite fruit?
Comment below and the juiciest and fruitiest answer is going to get this gift from me.
And please make sure to come back next week
because I’m going to take you around more of this beautiful city of Nice. Bye!
