Arts and Crafts night market

Watch artists paint as you pick up some gifts and souvenirs

Location

For lovers of paintings, and arts 'n' crafts, this market is perfect. Every summer evening, from mid-May to mid-September, the Cours Saleya is filled with stalls selling home-made gifts.

The Cours Saleya is a popular venue for markets, and you will find that there are regular traders and artists for whom this market is a selling platform for their work, so you could very well pick up an exclusive bargain here.

In addition to the many stalls, artists also set up their easels to paint in the square, creating art as you watch. It's easy to spend the day here watching them paint and can inspire you to make a few sketches of your own.

Soak up the ambience from one of the many cafés and restaurants that are dotted around the market.
