Vacationers who rent villas in France typically fill these luxurious accommodations with numerous souvenirs purchased on their international excursions. Yet, should your holiday abroad find you staying in the French Riviera, or Cote d'Azur, you can find everything you could ever want at the magnificent Cours Saleya market.

A popular tourist destination in the region, the Cours Saleya market features a number of local vendors offering everything from vegetables and freshly caught fish to flowers and antiques. Beginning at 6 a.m. daily, the market is the place to be for gourmands hoping to utilize the kitchen in their luxury vacation rentals to create an unforgettable French meal all their own.

While the food market runs from Tuesday through Sunday, vacationers will also find a flea market-style antique, curio and clothing market each Monday. Many of the vendors are willing to barter on prices, so if you're confident in your communication skills, now may be the time to get a good deal on a souvenir for the folks back home.

You'll be happy to have such comfortable accommodations in your luxury rentals, as the market is said to be best at opening time, and making it to the Nice marketplace by 6 a.m. will require a good night's sleep.
